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

[The Transpennine Route Upgrade @theTRUpgrade]

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.

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!

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.
