Not forgetting the impact on the area, presuming Newton Aycliffe would be the location for building them.

The media are picking up on the story too.

I think they should keep it local and go with Hitachi, could go with a promotional tagline like "Built in the North East, For the people of the North East".

I'd quite like something Overground-esque. I really like the Bombadier units. Saying that, CAF units I've used in Spain on a regular basis are always quite nice and feel very sturdy.

I think there needs to be a balance with the seating units.
Linear type seating works for short hops. Painful for longer stuff.

I've done the CAF 463 and whatever the commuter trains are in Mallorca.
Both decent enough rides and get what you say about being sturdy, but the CAF 493 interior was horrendous.
Genuinely struggled to find a seat with a decent seating arrangement.
Worse than the early Citaro's!

Have yet to do any Hitachi stuff. Always manage to evade me.

Yes, officially outside of St Andrew's Church. Some drivers will drop off directly outside of St James' Park, however.
