Euro-trams

It is sad - but probably inevitable - that none of the four companies selected to tender for Edinburgh's trams is British. From The Evening News (here):
"German-based businesses Bombardier and Siemens will battle it out against French engineering giant Alstom [sic] and the less-well-known Spanish company CAF.

I came across your site while searching about trams. You might want to see this post that includes a small Video of a tramway that's being built in Paris by Alstom. Quite cool. Not sure if it matters which "country" is manufacturing the tram. Does it have to be British?
