DB Cargo UK has officially opened a new training centre of excellence at its HQ in Doncaster in preparation for the introduction of the new in-cab signalling system ETCS – the European Train Control System.

Work on the multi-million-pound upgrade project at Keighley station is progressing well – with significant improvements set for completion in the new year.

Rail passengers are being thanked for their patience after further work to test 21st century digital signalling systems on the East Coast Main Line impacted journeys over the weekend. 

A super-sized suitcase is helping to remind passengers at King’s Cross to beware of bag thieves – as the station returns to pre-Covid visitor numbers.

A familiar and classic train became a new addition to digital signalling in-cab testing runs on the East Coast Main Line at the weekend.

TRU has entered a programme-wide partnership with the Lighthouse Charity – a charity dedicated to providing emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to the construction worker community.
