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.

After 47 years on the railway, LNER engineer Nick Dudley has retired.
From joining as an apprentice at King’s Cross in 1978 to working on the InterCity 225 fleet, his career spans almost half a century of railway history.

If you’re in Doncaster this half term, don’t forget to check out the Story Quest produced by @LNER and @Literacy_Trust
Launched today, it’s a great trail and tells some fantastic stories about the city.
ALT Myself, the author and some local schoolchildren holding the Doncaster Story Quest
📚Wonderful morning launching Doncaster Story Quest - a free, family focused trail developed by @LNER & @Literacy_Trust.
📕Trail author Phil Sheppard took us - and a group of local schoolchildren - on a fascinating walk around the city.
📖All part of our support for the National Year of Reading.
Nick gave me my first job in London.
My first job in a national newsroom.
Later he put me in charge of LBC, still in my 20s.
Thank you for seeing something in me Nick. Lovely to be at the unveiling of the plaque in his honour at St Brides in Fleet Street today.

Becketwell in Derby will be the home of #GreatBritishRailways, which will bring track and train back together for a better railway for our customers and taxpayers.
A modern national centre of excellence in a city at the heart of railway heritage.

Pupils from @BBEC1 spent some time immersing themselves in learning around Black History Month and the changes which were instigated by Black railway workers who challenged racism. Thanks to @LNER and The Danum Gallery in Doncaster.
