“"It was brilliant to again visit the Shipley TrainCare Centre and see first-hand the fantastic progress that has been made on its construction. Bringing the skilled, high-quality jobs of the future to the Shipley constituency has always been one of my top priorities as MP, and having this facility here will give local people the chance to build long-term careers right on our doorstep. And importantly, the benefits aren’t just confined within the depot gates. More people in well-paid jobs in the heart of Shipley will mean more spending in our shops, cafés, and businesses, further helping in the revitalisation of the town centre. From what I have seen today, I am confident that this development will make a real and lasting contribution to Shipley’s growth, and in unlocking the full potential of the wider region."
“"Great progress is being made our Shipley site, so we were delighted to have our senior stakeholders see this firsthand, and to provide a detailed update on the benefits this site will bring to not just railway resilience in West Yorkshire, but the local economy. TRU is committed to supporting local communities and providing local jobs, and this new depot will ensure we leave a positive lasting legacy in the town."
“"It is exciting to welcome some of our key stakeholders in the area to the site of Shipley to illustrate the tangible progress being made towards the construction of the facility. The Shipley TrainCare Centre will play a key role in allowing Northern to continue to deliver services for customers across the region while upgrades will be carried out at Neville Hill. This will enable us to be a resilient operator and meet the demands of our customers and our network, all while futureproofing the railway for further investment and projects."
