Siemens Mobility originally had a component overhaul division in Leeds but moved it to Goole, along with 40 employees. For another thirty employees, the company created new jobs. Equipment, such as engine axles, gearboxes, traction motors, fans, and brake resistors, will be repaired in Goole. Later, however, ventilation and air conditioning equipment will also be added, the repairs of which were previously carried out in Germany. The aim of opening the Goole manufacture was to avoid sending components for general repairs abroad and to carry out as many of them as possible within England, which will significantly reduce the time of repair and the costs associated with it.

The Goole manufacturing facility currently has an assembly hall, a body receiving facility, a body for individual vehicles, and a 1.3 km long test track for dynamic testing at low speed. Production of trains for the Piccadilly Line is due to begin at Goole in March 2024. Once operational, the Goole assembly line will produce more than four vehicles weekly, a nine-wagon train approximately every fortnight. Currently, a large part of the space in the production hall is used as a warehouse for the Picadilly Line. Even though the manufacturing facility in Goole focuses mainly on orders from the United Kingdom, Siemens does not rule out the possibility that in the future, it could also manufacture other types of trains.
