French train manufacturer Alstom is reportedly contemplating the dismissal of “hundreds” of employees at Britain’s largest train factory located in Derby, central England. The potential job cuts stem from a lack of work, attributed to stalled government negotiations over new contracts for suburban rail stock. Alstom has not confirmed any decisions regarding the future of the Derby site, but discussions with the UK government are ongoing. The company’s Derby facility, employing 6,000 people, faces uncertainty as it awaits new business opportunities, with concerns also arising over potential delays to Britain’s planned high-speed railway HS2.
