In June the coalition government named Siemens, a German engineering company, as the favoured bidder for the Pounds 1.4 billion ($2.3 billion) contract to make new trains for the cross-London Thameslink service; Canadian-owned Bombardier lost out. Bombardier blames its troubles in Britain on Whitehall bungling. Aerospace companies have found an alternative source of profit: servicing the goods they make. Rolls-Royce already gleans 51% of its revenue from servicing its engine fleet. The reasons for its success--the quality and adaptability of its products, its expansion into services and global reach--could offer lessons for Britain's other industries, even if it is too late for its trainmakers to catch up.
