The facility, which is a key part of Siemens' new Goole Rail Village, spans 67 acres, equivalent to 35 football pitches. The factory will play a central role in assembling London Underground's new Piccadilly line trains, which are expected to enter passenger service starting in 2025. This development will contribute to the transformation of rail travel across the UK’s capital, improving service efficiency and passenger experience.
