Network Rail growth plan brings jobs hope for York + Carriageworks gallery [York Press]





Date: 26/08/2017

NEW rail jobs may be created at the former York Carriageworks site after it emerged that Network Rail wants to expand its maintenance operation there. The company is planning to create a 'fan' of new tracks into its five-acre site off Holgate Road, so that more and larger vehicles can be shunted in. About 150 employees currently carry out annual maintenance on more than 400 of Network Rail's 'seasonal' vehicles. These include 'rail head treatment trains' used to remove the build-up of leaves from the rails in autumn.
