Hitachi’s Newton Aycliffe rail vehicle manufacturing facility is impressive. Opened by then Prime Minister David Cameron on 3 September 2015, it now employs 1,000 people, around 99% of whom come from the local area. This is well in excess of the original planned staffing of 730, reflecting how busy the site has already become.
