Deer detraction

On the East Coast Main Line, our teams have been working with London North Eastern Railway (LNER) to trial a deer detection system using artificial intelligence (AI) along two key hotspots on the route which runs from London King’s Cross station to Edinburgh after high volumes of deer were found entering the railway boundary.

The trial began in May 2023 and has been very effective, deterring just under 6,000 deer from accessing the railway. This system is a great alternative to deer fencing and can be installed in a day.
