Universal Signalling was founded in the United Kingdom in 2022. The company was created to commercialise intellectual property which has been under development by the founders since 2018. Our goal is to bring revolution to the stagnant worldwide railway signalling market through a unique blend of technology, operating model and open interface specification.
Rail is the greenest and most accessible mode of transport, and our rapidly growing team of industry experts are passionate about improving it. We recognise rail's countless benefits and want to help bring those benefits to more members of society, faster.

System testing at Ecclesbourne
System testing at Ecclesbourne
17 September 2025:
The team have had a fantastic few days out at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, end-to-end testing all of our prototype kit ahead of our first Network Rail trial fitment. We made a total of 60 test runs on the second day.
A beautifully restored Class 122 Diesel Railcar performed flawlessly as the test mule, with a bit of a Heath Robinson wooden arrangement enabling us to pretend it was a Class 153 or 158.
The only thing that didn't go to plan was the weather. It remained dry and sunny most of the day, meaning wet testing had to be conducted with water borrowed from the River Ecclesbourne! We know that none of the team originally signed up expecting to be squelching around on muddy riverbanks but, of course, it is all part of the fun of innovating in an SME!
