Siemens Mobility Expands UK Rail Logistics With Goole Centre
Siemens Mobility has officially opened its Rail Components Distribution Centre in Goole, East Yorkshire, marking a key milestone in its growing Rail Village.
The new facility enhances the company's logistics capabilities by supporting the distribution of rail components across the UK.
The centre was inaugurated by Rt Hon Sir David Davis MP, Member of Parliament for Goole and Pocklington and Councillor Anne Handley, Leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, alongside Siemens Mobility’s Joint CEO Sambit Banerjee.
This site complements Siemens Mobility’s existing distribution and logistics centre in Kettering, creating a more efficient and integrated supply chain.
Designed to streamline rail component distribution, the Goole facility improves material flow and supports rolling stock operations. By expanding its UK logistics network, Siemens Mobility enhances efficiency, reduces delays and strengthens its supply chain infrastructure.
Enhancing efficiency in rail logistics
The Goole site plays a crucial role in Siemens Mobility’s broader logistics strategy, ensuring rail fleets receive components quickly and efficiently. Together, the Kettering and Goole facilities create a robust distribution network that improves the reliability of supply chain operations.
Approximately 30 specialists at the new facility manage materials planning, inventory control and supply chain coordination, ensuring smooth logistics operations.
The site also offers apprenticeships and internships, providing future talent with opportunities to develop skills in distribution and logistics.
Sambit Banerjee, Joint CEO at Siemens Mobility, highlights the importance of the new centre: “I am so proud that our Goole Rail Village is continuing to expand, with a new Rail Components Distribution Centre that will play an important part in Siemens Mobility’s mission to transform rail travel and transport in the UK.
“This new centre, alongside its sister facility in Kettering, is the latest example of our commitment to the UK and will enable us to further enhance the delivery of materials to our fleets.”
By integrating advanced logistics solutions, Siemens Mobility aims to increase supply chain efficiency while improving service reliability for customers across the rail industry.
Supporting sustainability in rail distribution
A key objective of Siemens Mobility’s logistics expansion is sustainability.
By operating logistics hubs in both Northern and Southern England, the company reduces transport distances, cutting road miles and lowering emissions. This approach aligns with broader sustainability goals, making the rail supply chain more environmentally friendly.
Rt Hon Sir David Davis MP emphasises the significance of this investment: “It was a pleasure to open Siemens Mobility’s new Rail Components Distribution Centre in Goole, alongside Councillor Anne Handley.
“This state-of-the-art facility located within my constituency represents yet another investment by Siemens Mobility in Goole and I look forward to more milestones to come as the Rail Village continues to grow.”
Anne Handley, Leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, also acknowledges the impact of Siemens Mobility’s presence in the region: “This new facility is the latest in a long line of investment by Siemens Mobility into Goole and the East Riding of Yorkshire more widely, supporting local talent and investing in the communities where they operate.
“It makes me incredibly proud to be part of this journey and I look forward to working with Siemens Mobility as they continue to boost our local area.”
With around 5,500 employees in the UK, Siemens Mobility continues to invest in local economies and infrastructure.
The Rail Components Distribution Centre forms part of the company’s wider investment of up to £240m ($311.4m) in the Goole Rail Village, reinforcing its long-term commitment to improving logistics, supply chain efficiency and rail distribution in the UK.
