Again you demonstrate your lack of knowledge and understanding.
Nothing wrong with foreign investment be it finance, technology, skills or resources
If anything it’s a certain element within the ranks of leavers who are against foreign ownership and investment in the UK
Abellio is the British registered company that is wholly Dutch national rail operator Nederlandse Spoorwegen that holds the TOC franchise for a few of the UK routes. They are investing in the Uk rail infrastructure
The train manufactures the TOC ‘s invariably buy their rolling stock from are:
Hitachi. - Japanese
Bombardier. - Canadian
Alstom. - French
Siemens. - German
The first three of these companies invest in manufacturing facilities in the UK to be competitive in the UK rail market
Siemens manufacture in Germany and are still competitive
Ultimately though it’s the taxpayers and passengers who are investing in the railway and jobs whilst also providing the profits for these companies which ultimately goes back to the parent companies abroad
