Preparations are under way for the start of GB Railfreight’s contract to move brand new Piccadilly Line trains from East Yorkshire to London.
Manufacturing of the £1.5 billion order by Siemens started in Austria in August 2021. The first train is now being tested at Siemens’ Wegberg-Wildenrath Test and Validation Centre in Germany.
In January, Siemens announced that 80% of the 94 nine-car trains would be built at its new £200 million factory in Goole, rather than half as initially planned.
