Engineering giant Siemens says it's investing £8m in a new rail service centre in Lincoln.

The centre will service the latest Siemens trains operating in the UK, the company says.

Construction has already started on one of the firm's existing sites in Lincoln and should be up and running by this June.

The first project the company will work on is an overhaul of Eurostar trains (pictured).

Managers say 20 new staff will be taken on at the start, with that number rising to 40 by the end of 2019.

A special meeting has been called for next week where Brian Rush, an Independent, will face a motion asking for his resignation.

The council agenda says it relates to what are believed to have been offensive comments made on his Facebook page.

Lincolnshire police say the matter was referred to them but an investigation found "no hate crime or any other criminal offence" had been committed.

Councillor Rush has so far not responded to requests for comment.

It's a chilly start to the day.

Here's my full weather forecast:

Lincoln City fans are waking up this morning after a dream win last night which will see the club play at Wembley for the first time in its 133-year history.

Nearly 10,000 fans packed into Sincil Bank last night for the EFL Trophy semi-final against Chelsea U21s, which ended 1-1 after extra time.

The game then went to penalties and, with a controversial effort by Sam Habergham ruled out, Lincoln fans were on the edge of their seats.

But they finally went through 4-2, leaving fans relishing their first ever Wembley final, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday 8 April.

Lincoln City reach Wembley for the first time in their 133-year history after beating Chelsea's Under-21s in the EFL Trophy.

The former boss of the firm which was building Lincoln's Eastern Bypass has apologised for the collapse of the company.

The collapse of Carillion has put thousands of jobs at risk and the city's £100m bypass project on uncertain ground.

New figures which put Lincoln third in the worst congested cities in the UK are no surprise say transport bosses at Lincolnshire County Council.

Travel analysts Inrix say Lincoln is worse than Birmingham for traffic jams - with only Manchester and London suffering more delays.

Motorists in Lincoln lose 36 hours in congestion every year and it costs the economy £127m.
