Bombardier didn't win its bid for the Thameslink contract and is making 446 permanent staff redundant. Over 900 contractors will have their contracts terminated. Shedding contractors like that has been standard practice in the UK for past 20 years with the rail carriage manufacturers - I've worked for Railcare 3 times, both before and after it was bought out as a joint venture between Bombardier and Siemens, then sold off to Alstom. Contractors get brought in en masse once a contract is awarded, then renewed on a rolling weekly basis until the contracts run out.
This is not good news for Derbyshire as another 1400 skilled engineers swell the ranks of 15000 unemployed. I'm hoping that none of the people I worked with in the '90s are affected.
If you've landed on this page because of the redundancy or Derbyshire links and you're worried about your future, consider taking a look at my Kleeneze business and please get in touch. I've worked in the rail industry, I understand the challenges and you never know, we may even have mutual friends.

Facing Redundancy in Coventry? We Can Help.
It's not been a good week for Coventry workers - 563 jobs axed by AXA and voluntary redundancies requested by Bullivant Media. My deepest sympathies are with all affected. I've been made redundant twice, and suffered the stress of being "at risk" - which is a horrible euphemism for spending weeks wondering whether you still have a job or not.
If you're facing redundancy, reduced hours and/or a pay freeze, there are options you can look at right now to enhance or replace your current income.
I'm currently expanding my team of distributors in the Coventry area. I'm looking for 5 hard working, enthusiastic people who want to earn £50-£250 per week part time, or £10,000-£50,000 per annum full time.
I'm looking for two different types of people:
Firstly, those who wish to earn money by delivering and collecting our home shopping catalogues, either on a part or full time basis. This can typically earn you between £50-£250 per week part time, and £500+ per week full time.
Secondly, those who want to be team leaders, building their own team of distributors. This can typically earn you between £20,000 - £50,000 per annum, again on a part or full time basis.
Interested? Fill in your contact details on my website, and I'll call you back straight away.
