Analysis: Bombardier misses out on Tube dealpublished at 13:22 British Summer Time 15 June 2018

BBC Radio Derby, political reporterOne company source said this was a "big, big deal".
Image source, PAFinancially, it was worth more than the Thameslink contract, which plunged Bombardier's Litchurch Lane plant into doubt.
London Underground has always been a core customer for Bombardier. Now, a sense of déjà vu.
Siemens has beaten it again - this time in a deal worth £1.5bn, but it is likely to lead to more work in future.
Transport for London says future orders for tube trains are likely to go to the same company.
Bombardier is in a more stable state now than in 2011 - it has contracts into the early 2020s, but it faces being frozen out of the London Underground market for years to come.
The company said it was very disappointed, and would be seeking feedback on why it wasn't successful.

"Our Derby facility will be busy with orders to at least the early 2020s and we are focused on delivering those orders, and on winning new work to continue our proud tradition of UK train design and manufacturing.
"We cannot comment further on our bid until we have been able to re-evaluate our performance in light of feedback from Transport for London."
