The Class 455 trains will be refurbished at Bournemouth
JOBS have been created and secured at Bournemouth’s train depot.
South West Trains announced on Friday morning that it is investing £23 million in the overhaul of its Class 455 fleet and is building a £3.2 million paint shop at the Westbourne site.
It will create 38 new full-time jobs and secure those who already work there, bringing total numbers up to 103.
When the paint shop is up and running in April, it will mean that, for the first time, the train firm will be carrying out all of its maintenance in-house.
