Artist's impression of Merseyrail's new trains
THE news that the new Merseyrail trains are to be made in Switzerland is a disgrace, and the consequences for British industry should disturb the consciences of those responsible for the decision.
Why are the new trains not being made in England?
Good explanations for this decision – and these should not be based on cost alone – are needed.
