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.

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 – at York, England
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.

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.

We’re dealing with damage to overhead line equipment near Alnmouth, which was identified following reports of a loss of power to a train on Thursday evening.
Engineers have been on site overnight assessing the damage and planning repairs.
ALT Overhead line equipment damage near Alnmouth.
To keep passengers and freight moving safely, trains are currently running under a reduced service on the East Coast Main Line while teams work to make the damaged equipment safe.
We’re planning for engineers to undertake emergency repair work overnight and are working closely with train operators to minimise disruption.
We’re sorry to anyone whose journey is affected. Please check with @nationalrailenq or your train operator before travelling.
