Siemens Mobility’s Goole Rail Village has hosted Karl Turner MP, Member of Parliament for Kingston upon Hull East, showcasing the facility’s regional investment and its focus on battery bi-mode train production for UK rail.  Siemens Mobility’s \u00a3240 million investment will bring up to 1,000 new jobs to East Riding of Yorkshire, as well as around 1,700 supply chain job opportunities. Mr Turner saw first-hand the site’s role in boosting skills, including through its apprenticeships.<\/p>\n

Goole currently assembles 80% of Piccadilly line trains for Transport for London. The Rail Village intends to produce battery bi-mode trains to help modernise the UK network. The battery train technology, already successfully proven in Germany, offers a route to save taxpayers \u00a33.5 billion and prevent 12 million tonnes of CO2.<\/p>\n

Karl Turner MP, Member of Parliament for Kingston upon Hull East, said:<\/strong>\u202f\u202f\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n

“For Kingston upon Hull East and the Humber, this Siemens Mobility factory is an indicator of a bright future. It brings essential jobs, strengthens local supply chains, and shows belief in our regional workforce, so it was great to visit the facility and see their skilled team firsthand. It was also exciting to speak about the potential for next\u2011generation battery trains being built here in Goole, offering lower emissions and reduced costs. This not only will help support the transition to cleaner, greener rail across the UK, but also further strengthen the long\u2011term economic opportunities for our region \u201d<\/p>\n

Over 40 apprentices are currently building careers in manufacturing and engineering, benefiting from Siemens Mobility’s development programs. Initiatives like Women in Manufacturing events promote gender diversity in STEM, complemented by various employee networks such as DisAbility, EmBRACE, Pride and Women\u2019s Networks.\u202f <\/p>\n

Michael Bent, Head of Logistics at Siemens Mobility\u2019s Goole Rail Village, said:<\/strong>\u202f\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n
