We’re thrilled to have achieved another important milestone on ECDP, which takes us one step closer to a digital future on the East Coast Main Line!
Thank you to everyone involved for your hard work and to all rail users for your patience.
Thanks to passengers for their patience during the recent run of engineering work on the East Coast Main Line.
Important testing for @_ECDP has been the main focus over the past two weekends.

Last night, we won an award for Digital Innovation and Signalling Excellence at the Rail Business Awards!
Our pioneering project on the Northern City Line is the first ever high-capacity commuter railway to operate without traditional signals. Well done to the whole team!

No signals! Northern City Line becomes first main line commuter railway to run on digital signals @_ECDP. WCR is reported to have run a passenger train with Mk 1 coaches. And Lord Blunkett proposes a £14bn 15-year plan for Yorkshire… Watch Ep 85 now: youtu.be/JVcBvKBucTA

We have produced a new animation explaining the benefits of digital signalling, ahead of more progress being made during engineering work this weekend.
The clip has been produced with passenger operator partners to explain what's involved and why the @_ECDP work is needed.
