Well, well, well: Siemens has sharpened its pencil and beaten the
Bombardier-Hitachi consortium to this giant order, that should eventually
replace all the trains on four LU tube lines, starting with the
Piccadilly.
I must admit that I thought Bombardier-Hitachi would be the favourite to
win this biggest-ever LU order.

In further news, Bombardier and Hitachi have launched a legal challenge to
the award in the High Court:

in one last throw of the dice
