Hull looks set to play a part in the delivery of HS2 with a £10 million investment planned.
European steel giant Voestalpine has identified a former container terminal site in the city as ideal for a new logistics facility, having won a major contract on the high-profile build. The Austrian business’s Voestalpine Railway Systems subsidiary will supply points and crossings for the first two phases of the project.
A total of 20 jobs could be created at the rail-linked Freightliner Road location, with an application lodged with Hull City Council for a 50m by 20m warehouse, a two storey modular office building and welfare unit.
