Bombardier’s Derby site is currently manufacturing more trains per week than has ever previously been produced in the history of the site.
By the end of this month, over 100 cars will have been produced by the site. If all these cars were placed nose to tail the trains would cover a distance of 2 kilometers.
The Derby site is currently producing trains for Transport for London’s  Underground system: MOVIA metro cars for the Victoria and SubSurface Lines, Class 379 Electrostars for  National Express East Anglia and Class 172 Turbostars for Chiltern and London Midland.
Whilst production is currently at a peak, all but the SubSurface Lines contract will be complete by the year end and so Bombardier is seeking to secure additional work for the site and is eagerly awaiting announcements to be made about key UK rail projects.
