Short-Term Hire: Eemits Supports Major Train Event
02/10/2025
Stockton-on-Tees Council’s recent staging of the spectacular 'Ghost Train, The Arrival' event, a breathtaking culmination of the S&DR200 celebrations, was successfully supported by a seamless communications infrastructure provided by local experts, Eemits Communications.
The monumental outdoor show, described as the biggest ever staged in Stockton and drawing hundreds of attendees, demanded flawless coordination across dozens of staff members and multiple teams. Eemits Communications stepped in to ensure that the event ran with maximum efficiency and safety, providing a robust, cost-effective, and hassle-free short-term radio hire solution.
To facilitate instant, clear communication throughout the large-scale spectacle, Eemits supplied a substantial inventory of digital equipment: 80 Hytera PD705 two-way radios and 80 associated earpieces.
The selection of the durable Hytera PD705 handsets, paired with earpieces for discreet and clear audio, proved instrumental in managing the complex logistical demands of the event, which featured a dramatic reimagining of Locomotion No. 1 with illuminated carriages, live music, and projection.
The communication solution directly contributed to the smooth running of the event by promoting:
Crowd and Staff Safety: Instant alerts and coordinated responses ensured the security of both the audience and event personnel in a densely populated area.
Event Productivity: Teams from security to production and logistics were able to communicate instantly, reducing delays and increasing workflow speed.
Overall Event Efficiency: The rapid, reliable network ensured every element of the large-scale performance was executed precisely as planned, living up to the council's promise of an "epic outdoor performance."
The success of the Ghost Train event highlights the critical role professional two-way radio systems play in the safe and efficient execution of major public gatherings, with Eemits Communications proving to be a reliable partner to Stockton Council for their complex short-term communication needs.
