We have a lot of train manufacturing facilities in the country at the moment. These have dedicated and skilled workforces, yet it seems increasingly likely that we won't have enough train orders to occupy them all.
Could we perhaps repurpose some of them to manufacture the things that the country needs, such as solar technology, which we currently have to rely on unfriendly powers to provide.
During WW2, Churchill didn't wave his arms around bleating about the need for "markets" to provide the armaments necessary for the country to defend itself. He got industry doing it.
Could we re-purpose surplus train manufacturing capacity to meet the nations core needs, such as de-carbonisation and energy self-sufficiency?
