Motion text

That this House celebrates Gibson's Engineering on securing a major contract with Transport for London that will see the St Rollox Railway Works, known as The Caley, reactivated; welcomes the 40 skilled jobs that will be created as a result of the contract; recognises this as a significant step forward for The Caley following its closure in 2019 after 163 years of operation, when both the Scottish and UK governments failed to save the depot; hopes that this demonstrates the viability of The Caley and the potential for Springburn to once again be a site of engineering excellence; and commends investment from David Moulsdale and the commitment of Gibson's Engineering to restoring skilled manufacturing jobs in Springburn and their support for the UK's railway industry.
