New Beginnings at West Offices: Incremental Moves into a Historic Rail Hub

Posted on 7th May 2025 by Carol Sarreti

This spring, Incremental is on the move — into a space that feels like home in more ways than one.

Where Innovation Meets Heritage

We’re proud to announce that our team has officially relocated to West Offices, Station Rise, York. With modern, collaborative workspaces and a location steeped in railway heritage, our new base marks an exciting new chapter for the business.

West Offices is no ordinary office building. Once the headquarters of the North Eastern Railway, it holds a special place in the history of British transport. For Incremental — a company built around innovation in rail software — it’s hard to imagine a more fitting setting.

Today, the building is once again at the heart of the UK rail sector. It’s home to organisations like LNER, Arup, and AtkinsRéalis — and now, Incremental too. Being part of this vibrant, forward-looking community is a privilege, and we’re excited for the collaborations and connections it will bring.

A Spring Move to Remember

We couldn’t have picked a better week for the move. As we settled in, York was bathed in spring sunshine, with temperatures reaching 24°C and greenery blooming all around. The fresh energy of the season has carried into the office, where our team has hit the ground running in our new space.

A Sincere Thank You

We’d like to extend our thanks to City of York Council for facilitating the move and helping make our transition smooth and seamless. Their support reflects the city’s commitment to fostering innovation and digital transformation in transport and infrastructure.

Come and Say Hello!

We’re now just a five-minute walk from York railway station. If you’re nearby — whether you’re a client, partner, or just curious about what we do — we’d love to see you.

Our New Address

Incremental Group Ltd

West Offices
Station Rise
York, YO1 6GA

Here’s to new spaces, familiar tracks, and an exciting future.

Daniel Lee-Bursnall, CEO said:

“Our participation at the Rail Technology Exhibition underscores our dedication to pioneering digital solutions that enhance rail efficiency and safety. It’s inspiring to see the industry’s collective drive towards innovation, especially in this bicentennial year of rail in the UK.”

William Nutbrown, Head of Product said:
