RE: Northern Rail
Network Rail and Northern Rail have known the dates for each section of electrification coming alive , how Dft has allowed this situation to fester is laughable though .

All we can say is the length of time that the new Thameslink Stock came to financial close with Siemens is the root cause . Siemens at the time had a better credit rating than Bombardier so god only knows how long you would have been waiting for financial close that deal if they had got it , hence the reason why the Crossrail order was financed a different way , dont think the rolling stock industry could have lasted another prolonged procurement .
