    Why was the train company, Siemens, allowed to win the contract, for those UK trains?

    So if you wanted a big job doing and you advertised this fact and six companies responded with a quotation for doing the job, would you not accept the best quote? Why should a British train company be used if it is more expensive to do so?

    Should I be offended at lack of politeness from e-mail from professor?
