Finbarr Dowling, Siemens Mobility’s director of localisation, said: “We’re committed to the efficient use and continuous reuse and repurposing of rolling stock and materials in our trains.
“The carriage has been used in various ways since being on site at Goole, but we were actively looking to put it to a new and useful purpose. This donation means it will have a much longer lifespan, providing further benefits to society for years to come.”
The Class 332 carriage was part of the first mainline train Siemens Mobility sold and delivered into the UK, operating between Heathrow Airport and London Paddington from 1998 to 2019.
After decommissioning, the carriage was relocated to Siemens Mobility’s Goole site during its development.
The £250m Goole Rail Village is expected to bring up to 1,000 new jobs to East Yorkshire.
