Siemens pulls out of bidding for Crossrail trains [Telegraph]





Date: 06/07/2013

The German engineering giant said it will not proceed with the procurement process for the new line linking east and west London because it is busy with other projects, such as building trains for Thameslink. This leaves Bombardier, Hitachi and Spanish group CAF in the bidding. Siemens said on Friday it no longer had the capacity to deliver the 600 carriages required for the new line.
