Green Signals 96. Inside Yorkshire’s £250m train factory: Goole Rail Village
Following on from our recent Piccadilly Line Tube Trainvideo, this week we go behind the scenes at Siemens’ Goole Rail Village in Yorkshire to see everything that is going on there.
The Government has announced the creation of a new property business called Platform4 to kick start the building of 40,000 houses on surplus railway land. We ask whether the plan is good business or just flogging off the family silver.
And we look back at Alstom’s The Greatest Gathering event in Derby and ask - was it the most spectacular railway event in living memory?
