Glasgow train repair centre secures contract from TfL
The contract is expected to create 40 new jobs at the St Rollox rail depot in Springburn.
Gibson’s Engineering, a train repair centre located in Glasgow, Scotland, has secured a contract from Transport for London (TfL) for the refurbishment of 23 long vehicle wagons over a two-year period.
This contract is expected to generate 40 new employment opportunities at the St Rollox rail depot in Springburn, where the company recently established its engineering facility.
Paul Sweeney MSP said: “The award of this major contract from Transport for London (TfL) demonstrates that ‘The Caley’ has a viable future after being written off when the works closed down in 2019, after 163 years of operation.
“I know the difference it is going to make to Springburn by providing skilled jobs for our young people and reviving local pride in skilled manufacturing work.”
The site was closed in 2019 and later acquired in 2021 by businessman David Moulsdale.
Since the acquisition, the facility has undergone a £10m investment aimed at revitalising its operations.
