Comment from Heather Wheeler MP on the Alstom and DfT announcement that 10 Elizabeth Line trains will be built in Derbyshire:
“Fantastic, but entirely expected news about Alstom after months of personal behind the scenes activity. My job was to secure the best deal for the workers of SDerbys. And this I have done".
"Very grateful to Secretary of State for Transport Mark Harper for all his help in getting the Alstom deal over the line this week. A viable rail industry is now on the cards for our area and jobs in South Derbyshire".
