In a UK first, LNER has installed three wind turbines next to the East Coast Main Line to turn the wind from passing trains into clean electricity. These clever devices, made from upcycled materials, can power station lighting and information screens while significantly cutting carbon emissions. The project is a brilliant example of British engineering helping to create a greener future for our railways.
