File photo showing trains being made at Bombardier's Derby factory. Bombardier has won a £1bn contract to provide trains for the Crossrail project, the government has announced. The company will provide 65 trains for the Crossrail service, which is set to open in 2018. The trains will be manufactured and assembled at Bombardier's plant in Derby. The Department for Transport said Bombardier's contract would provide 760 manufacturing jobs and 80 apprenticeships. It also said that about 74% of the amount spent on the contract would stay in the UK economy. Bombardier beat Japan's Hitachi and Spain's CAF to secure the deal.
