UK tube train production

Following an investment of up to €230m, Siemens Mobility is opening a UKtrain manufacturing facility as part of the company’s new Goole Rail Village on a site which spans 67 acres, the size of 35 football pitches. London Underground’s new Piccadilly Line trains will be assembled at the factory before they start entering passenger service from 2025. Overall, Siemens Mobility’s investment in the region will create up to 700 new jobs and an additional 1700 supply chain opportunities by 2030. The company is also investing up to €50m in a new facility (also in Goole) to assemble and overhaul train bogies. More information www.bit.ly/3Yo3fWF
