I wonder if the plan is to keep building buses, or to make JCB's usual diggers, bulldozers, etc? Or, perhaps both. as there doesn't seem to be enough demand for buses to keep the factory open. |

It looks like this is actually nothing to do with JCB. It seems that Wightbus will become the BBC, with a focus on hydrogen buses: https://www.irishnews.com/news/2019/10/12/news/as-jcb-heir-s-son-takes-wrightbus-reins-how-many-jobs-can-be-saved--1736870/ |

But they do seem to have grabbed some adjacent farmland, whatever that means to them. -- Roland Perry |

And they'll have to start reading The Guardian during lunchtime. No more football or rugby chat, it'll be 30 mins of handwringing about the plight of the roma goatherders in Godknowswhereistan. Wrong BBC. |

Almost certainly not, as the factory was apparently over-manned. The former owner was a religious Protestant, while the new one is Catholic, so that might alter the employee profile. But they do seem to have grabbed some adjacent farmland, whatever that means to them. It's not clear what the farmland is to be used for, as it's been donated by Wright to Mid and East Antrim council, not to Bamford. As it's not part of the factory, I wonder why the ownership needed to change? Perhaps it's needed for access, or as a bus park? |
