Key information
Overview
Network Rail is introducing digital signalling, which will see traditional lineside signals removed and replaced with European Train Control Systems (ETCS) in-cab technology on GB rolling stock. The implementation will enable continuous, real-time information to the train driver’s cab, enabling more responsive, reliable, and safer train operations. ETCS enables trains to run closer together, safely and to travel at their optimal speeds. To implement ETCS, it requires changes to signalling infrastructure. For passengers, this means fewer delays, increased capacity, and a more resilient service. For operators, it offers reduced costs, streamlined renewals, and a modernised approach to managing the network. Network Rail intends to procure a national, long-term single supplier framework for the onboard fitment of digital signalling system equipment, European Train Control Systems (ETCS), and associated works on to Turbostar passenger trains.
