A £1 billion railway upgrade between King’s Cross to Grantham

The Department for Transport (DfT) has announced that it’s funding a substantial upgrade along the East Coast Main Line (ECML) to improve the signalling infrastructure.
The upgrade, known as the East Coast Digital Programme was announced in 2020 and will remove outdated lineside signalling and replace it with the European train control system (ETCS) that will be rolled out initially across the southern section of the line – from London’s King’s Cross to the Stoke Tunnels,
