Siemens Mobility is developing a new train manufacturing plant and supply chain rail village in Goole, East Yorkshire. The facility will provide the location for new-build Piccadilly line tube and future mainline trains. Phased development of the 67-acre site is now underway.
With an investment potential of up to £200m, the new factory could create as many as 700 skilled jobs in engineering and manufacturing, as well as employing an additional 250 people during the construction phase. Estimates also suggest the UK supply chain will benefit from 1700 indirect jobs. Plans in the proposal include the construction and commissioning of buildings, warehouses, offices and stabling sidings.
