New generation of high speed trains proposed by Hitachi TEN years ago, this week, it was confirmed that trainbuilding and thousands of desperately needed manufacturing jobs would be brought back to the region where the train was born. After months of frustration and uncertainty, Hitachi’s plans to build a factory and a manufacturing base to serve all of Europe at Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, was given the go-ahead, to universal delight. The £4.5bn Intercity Express Programme (IEP) deal secured at least 500 high-quality jobs in England’s poorest region, plus many thousands more in manufacturing and service supply chains. The Hitachi-led Agility consortium would build at least 530 rail carriages, bringing faster, more reliable journeys -and 11,000 extra seats -on key inter-city routes.

Charities
West Ham United is proud to be partnered with a charity making a positive difference to the lives of injured veterans and their families - Blesma, The Limbless Veterans
Blesma, The Limbless Veterans is one of only around ten charities that still exist from the 18,000 that were born out of the First World War. Our mission is to assist limbless and injured veterans to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Around 40,000 British Service men returned from the Western Front having suffered life-changing injuries in a time when the National Health Service did not exist. To fill the gap, these veterans came together as local networks, sharing their knowledge, supporting each other, and lobbying for better employment opportunities for the war disabled. These groups later became Blesma, The Limbless Veterans.
