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.

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.
