This from Ithuriel...
I spotted this in the Derby Evening Telegraph:
DERBYSHIRE rail companies are to be given a helping hand to break into overseas markets thanks to a new rail export partnership.
Derby and Derbyshire Rail Forum, which represents about 100 rail firms across the county, has linked up with UK Trade and Investment, a government-backed organisation which helps British firms export.
The two organisations have agreed to establish a dedicated rail-export partnership.
UKTI international trade director Peter Hogarth said: "By working closely with the forum, we can help local rail supply chain companies develop their export business.
Presumably the aim is to keep Derby factories busy with exports when Hitachi's hostage plant in Geordieland sweeps up all the UK train orders.
An excellent example of joined up government, allowing UKTI to give with one hand whilst DafT takes away with the other.
