Noticed anything different travelling through Morpeth lately? During recent north main line blocks @NetworkRailEC replaced the last jointed track on the East Coast fast lines with welded rail through the curve, improving hot weather resilience and giving a smoother ride @LNER

⚠️ From Saturday 24 October to Sunday 1 November 2026, we are carrying out major upgrades to the railway at Church Fenton station. There will be changes to train services that run from York towards Leeds, Selby, Sheffield and Wakefield Kirkgate while these works take place, ster, more reliable and more sustainable railway for the North.

🚧 Additionally, on the weekends of Saturday 24 & Sunday 25 October and Saturday 31 October & Sunday 1 November, major upgrade works will be taking place at York station, with all services that run through the station affected.

New drone technology is helping our teams respond more quickly and safely to severe weather on the East Coast Main Line.

By providing views of hard-to-reach areas, drones can help engineers make informed decisions to keep passengers and freight moving.

Plenty of sunshine & showers on the East Coast this afternoon as 801222 arrives at Peterborough with 1A22 Leeds to Kings Cross. Don't forget there are changes to train times this Sunday as maintenance & renewal work is carried out between here and Doncaster @LNER @NetworkRailEC

Using technology to ensure a more reliable service for our customers-some of the latest finds from PANDAS-V monitoring kit fitted to our Azumas, identifying potential overhead line faults which are fixed before they can cause disruption @LNER @NetworkRailEC

Many happy returns!
We've been celebrating 174 years of King's Cross station today... #HappyBirthday #FatBrassband

The final weekend of north main line closures this week, with @LNER again diverting via Carlisle. Plenty going on with @NetworkRailEC upgrading drainage at Scremerston near Berwick-a high flood risk location, ensuring we're prepared for the worst of this autumn's weather

Trespass, cable theft and vandalism caused more than 2,000 hours of delays on our route last year.

We’re backing the industry’s Crime With Consequences campaign, alongside @BTP and @LNER, to tackle railway crime.

Officers are working to reunite it with its owner.

This week, #ECDP took a big leap forward in our rollout of #digital #signalling by introducing the first passenger service to use digital in-cab signalling on the East Coast Main Line.

Thank you to passengers for your patience while testing work was carried out.
