The UK’s rail manufacturing sector has received a significant boost as Transport Secretary Louise Haigh officially opened a state-of-the-art £200M Siemens rail factory in Goole. The facility is set to create 700 high-skilled jobs, delivering new, more efficient trains and stimulating regional economic growth.
The new factory will be responsible for producing nearly 100 Piccadilly Line trains, set to provide faster, more reliable, and accessible journeys for London commuters. This project, supported by government funding for Transport for London (TfL), highlights a key public-private collaboration aimed at transforming the UK’s transport infrastructure.
During the opening ceremony, Siemens Mobility also announced plans to invest an additional £40M in a Bogie Assembly and Service Centre, creating up to 200 more jobs and further reinforcing the site’s role as a major rail manufacturing hub
