July 2011: Bombardier Transportation will lay off almost a half of their 3,000 employees at the Litchurch Lane Plant. It was 'inevitable' 446 permanent staff and 983 contractors would be laid off. The action follows loss bidding againts Siemens for Thameslink programme and loss bidding againts Hitachi for Inter City Express programme, while current works will be finished soon.

Dates in Derby_Carriage_and_Wagon_Works
Thanks for updating the article - some dates for contracts are missing. If dates can be supplied with a source feel free to leave the link here or put it within tabs in the article and I will try to clean it up. Or DIY.

As regards Thameslink - it's not clear, and I'm not sure it's true that the jobs losses are related to the loss of the contract - please check and correct eg from the link in the article They pointed to a recent letter to Hammond in which Bombardier warned that 1,200 jobs were at risk even if the company did not win the order. Please fix.Imgaril (talk) 13:16, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Also Bombardier Derby is the only remaining specialist British train manufacturer - I don't think that is what meant - there are other 'specialist manufacturers' eg shunters. Not sure what should be said here if anything - needs a date/year at least.Imgaril (talk) 14:48, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
