Surely if a manufacturer builds a train with a working life probably
exceeding at least 30 years then then should either guarantee a supply of
parts for that time period or suffer penalties such as swallowing the cost
of train upgrades if they can't? Even car manufacturers I believe are
by law required to be able to supply parts for their vehicles for a
minimum of 10 years in the USA & EU.

ROFL!

Well that was informative.
