The Zone brings together a diverse range of the Network Rail supply chain focusing on signalling technology. The area is designed to show trackside equipment in a realistic environment, without the dangers presented by being trackside.
Digital signalling is a centrepiece of a 21st century railway. It offers a safer, higher performing, more resilient, more efficient, better skilled, more productive, and greener railway that works better for passengers, users and taxpayers.
The East Coast Digital Programme has brought together Network Rail, operators, suppliers and Government in a pioneering industry and commercial partnership to deliver the introduction of digital signalling to the southern part of the East Coast Main Line.
Two aircraft on display with the opportunity to speak to those who fly them and find out more about the work they do.

Come and visit one of our team of station hawks. Provided by Rentokil, specially trained birds of prey - such as Harris Hawks - are flown to deter gulls and other pest birds without causing them harm.
Rentokil's bird handlers use their experience and expertise to identify the most appropriate vantage points from which to fly the raptors in order to achieve the best results. As the birds of prey fly over the affected area, it causes the nuisance birds to be disturbed and rise into the sky as they see the raptor as a threat to their colony. The birds of prey used are carefully trained and will not attack the nuisance birds, instead their presence acts as a deterrent and encourages pest birds to move to a different location where they feel safer.
A new feature for 2023. Network Rail teams will be holding workshops for up to 30 people throughout both days of the event.
Confirmed presenters include teams from Intelligent Infrastructure and Network Rail Design and Delivery. No need to book! See timetable here.

Rail Live was once again the premier railway exhibition to attend. Rolling stock, plant, people, techniques – always a showstopper! Rail Live is consistently the best opportunity for everyone in the railway family to widen their networks, knowledge and understanding of the rail industry.
Rail Live is a truly notable event for all people with a professional rail interest, not only those involved with rail plant and track working. Having RAIL take over the organisation and promotion of the show has made it possible for Rail Live to become a ‘Farnborough for the Railway’, and an event that is now well and truly in the international rail calendar.
Some impressive tech on display at the @RAIL #RailLive2023 today - including digital temporary speed restriction signs, composite platforms from and even a @BostonDynamics robot dog! (I have no idea whether the @BTPDogs met robodog...).
I would encourage you to get around and talk to as many people as you can, because in my visit I genuinely have spoken to people I would never have seen before. That’s one of the joys of this dynamic, and it’s why I’m a real passionate supporter of Rail Live.
Rail Live is an unmissable event for SMEs like us to connect with passionate industry leaders and suppliers. The event has become a staple in our calendar, and is a fantastic opportunity to incept exciting project collaborations and partnerships. We're highly anticipating this year's event, and look forward to taking in the diverse breadth of rail expertise on offer!
Rail Live is a key event for Thomas Graham as an industrial supplier, it is a great opportunity to exhibit our range of products to the rail industry, speak to key contacts, that under normal conditions wouldn’t be accessible and we have been able to exhibit our specialised calibrated lockers, which have been a great success with some sizeable orders.
Rail Live 2023 was Trough-Tec System’s and HIRD Group’s best Rail Live yet! It’s the only show where we can truly showcase and demonstrate our entire product portfolio in such a practical manner, and to such a diverse audience of customers and end-users.
