Great Northern

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and spoke with us at Finsbury Park yesterday, as our Rail Enforcement Team hosted a pop-up event to help you stay safe while travelling, listen to your concerns, and take onboard your feedback.

We spoke with customers about personal safety, station security, and the importance of reporting anything that doesn't look right. The event gave passengers the opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the measures in place to keep the railway secure, and share their experiences with the team.

Working together helps us create a safer railway for everyone, and we appreciate everyone who took the time to chat with us.

Remember, if you see anything that looks suspicious while travelling, speak to station staff or text British Transport Police on 61016.

We're working with colleagues and partners across the rail industry to modernise signalling on some of our Great Northern and Thameslink routes.

This means that traditional lineside signals, many of which were installed in the 1970s, will be replaced by state-of-the-art digital signalling – creating a better performing East Coast Main Line for our customers and everyone else who uses it.

The Northern City Line (NCL), between Finsbury Park and Moorgate in the City of London, recently celebrated one year since its physical lineside signals were removed.

NCL became Great Britain’s first ‘no signals’ commuter railway in May 2025, and since then passengers have travelled on almost 70,000 train services operated by Great Northern using digital in-cab signalling.

The groundbreaking NCL project is a vital ‘pathfinder’ for the introduction (from later this year) of digital signalling to the East Coast Main Line (ECML), enabling a more reliable, more efficient, greener and even safer railway. This is the largest and most complex digital signalling migration undertaken anywhere in the world.
