The regional voice of the rail supply industry has welcomed the go-ahead for the new engineering research centre at Goole.
As reported, the University of Birmingham - supported by Siemens Mobility - has secured £15 million for a centre of excellence to be developed alongside the emerging train manufacturing plant in the port town. It is part of a £106 million package that also includes substantial industry funding.
Rail Industry Association North said the Centre of Excellence for Railway Through-Life Engineering will encourage innovation across the wider supply chain.
