"RAIL UNION RMT today slammed the 'sickening incompetence and bare faced lies' of the Government as Transport Secretary Justine Greening confirmed that the award of the Thameslink fleet contract has been shunted off into the New Year as Siemens's appear to be unable to put the finance in place due to the chaos in the financial markets. |

Surley there is a "get out clause" for such delays, this would allow the Tories to award Bombardier? |

Well, there will undoubtedly be get-out clauses for non-delivery. If the government really wanted to consider switching they would then have to complete the writing of the contract with Bombardier. Finishing that work could require a further few months of inactivity. |
