Train factory to bring 1,000 jobs to Longannet in Fife
At least 1,000 jobs will be created at a train-building factory to be built at Longannet in Fife, Spanish firm Talgo announced today.
Talgo said it had been chosen because of its good sea, rail and road connections, and availability of skilled workers.
Components may be brought in by ship, while the firm said it would be keen to see further rail electrification to enable newly-built trains to run direct from the factory.
Talgo plans to build a range of trains and has been shortlisted for the high-speed trains contract for the HS2 line due to open between London and northern England in 2026
That suggests a possible upgrading of the single-track line past Longannet between Alloa and Dunfermline which was previously used by coal trains going to the power station.
Paul Lewis, managing director of Scottish Government agency Scottish Development International, said the plans offered considerable benefits.
He said: With our public and private sector partners, we've worked intensively for many months to deliver the optimum proposal and to secure Scotland and Fife as the preferred location for Talgo's investment, so this announcement today is great news.
