Bombardier contract to be extended by rail operator
Rail operator Southern has announced it plans to extend an existing £188 million pound contract with Derby-based train-maker, Bombardier.
The firm secured the deal at the end of last year, to make 130 carriages. It will now make an additional 40. The contract was a boost for Bombardier, after it lost out on the multi-million pound Thameslink contract.
