Siemens plans to deliver the project in two phases. In the first phase, the company plans to develop the facilities to support the production of tube trains for the Piccadilly Line.

Construction works are expected to begin later this year, subject to planning approval. The first phase of the Goole facility is slated to become operational in 2023.

The development of the rail manufacturing site will create up to 700 jobs and an additional 250 during the construction period.

Notably, Siemens received the outline planning consent for the Goole facility in July 2019.
