South Yorkshire 'can be at centre of nuclear industry supply chain'

The UK’s competition watchdog has said it will give the green light to a 1.7 billion euro (£1.5bn) takeover of Thales’s rail infrastructure after buyer Hitachi agreed to sell off its mainline signalling businesses in the UK, France and Germany to appease concerns over the deal.

Watchdog approves £1.5bn rail infrastructure deal after move to address concerns

The Competition and Markets Authority said the deal involves two of the leading suppliers of signalling systems for mainline and urban railway networks. It could therefore mean Network Rail and the London Underground lose out on digital signalling options because it would lessen competition in the market.
