Doncaster PSB, Railway control center on East Coast Main Line in Doncaster, England
Doncaster PSB is a railway control center that manages train movements along the East Coast Main Line. The facility houses a control room with multiple monitors and panels that display real-time information about track conditions and train positions across the network.
The control center opened in 1979 and replaced older manual signal boxes that previously controlled this section of railway. This change was part of British Rail's broader effort to centralize train management across major routes.
The center represents the evolution of railway management from manual signal boxes to centralized control systems, reflecting changes in transportation technology.
The facility monitors seven level crossings using surveillance systems to maintain safety across the railway network. Access to certain areas is restricted since this is an active operational workspace.
Locomotive 66703 received the name 'Doncaster PSB 1981-2002' to mark the signal box's 21st anniversary of service.
