York Integrated Electronic Control Centre is a major signalling control centre on the East Coast Main Line railway between London and Edinburgh. The centre also contains the electrical control centre for the line and the LNE regional control office of Network Rail. ==History== The centre originally opened in May 1989, first replacing local boxes in the area, including the 1951 York power box. The 1951 box was at the time one of the largest route-relay interlockings in the world, its relay room 46 metres long by 10 metres wide, containing nearly 3,000 relays. It replaced seven mechanical boxes containing a total of 868 levers – the largest of which was Locomotive Yard, the largest mechanical signal box in the UK. York IECC also replaced the LNER power boxes at Northallerton, Thirsk (dating from 1933) and Tollerton. When the first stage of York IECC was completed in April 1990, its control area boundaries were Church Fenton, Low Gates, just south of Great Heck to Just south of Darlington on the ECML. In the early 2000s, the IECC was further extended to take in the 1960s Leeds PSB area, Church Fenton and the newly electrified lines to Skipton. The control area was further extended in 2011 with the closure of Moorthorpe and Hickleton signal boxes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「York IECC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
