Bombardier Transportation has been named as the preferred bidder for a major rolling stock order to be produced for the Abellio East Anglia, which has been awarded the East Anglia franchise.
Abellio has selected Bombardier to supply British-built carriages. The contract is expected to be finalized within the next few weeks.
“Being named preferred bidder for this significant order is a fantastic endorsement of our workforce and the quality of the products we design, engineer and manufacture here in the UK and will ensure a stable, long-term workload for our staff here in Derby. Our modern Aventra trains will provide passengers with greater connectivity, reliability and shorter journey times,” Richard Hunter, UK Managing Director at Bombardier Transportation, said.
