Saw on BBC World that Eurostar have ordered new trains from Siemans, for 700 Million Pounds. Now Siemans build the ICEs for the DB, (German Rail) They have a shocking safety record, mainly big problems with either brakes(overheat and fail) or wheels ( they fall off)and axles (they break, often). Also in the hot weather this summer the Air Conditioning failed and as no windows can be opened, many passengers suffered severe Heat Stroke. They also suffer from "Wet Leaves" and "Wrong Snow" illnesses. Could they not have bought British? Or has the Railway Industry disappeared in UK as well?
