Written question asked by Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) on Thursday, 11 October 2007.
Railways: Traffic Management
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Which signalling engineering suppliers are known to be developing level 3 of the European rail traffic management system at their own expense.
- Answer
-
Her Majesty's Government are unaware of any signalling engineering suppliers developing level 3 European rail traffic management systems (ERTMS). Suppliers across the world have produced a number of communications-based train control systems which are broadly equivalent to ERTMS level 3 in functionality, but based on satellite positioning technology. We hope that ERTMS catches up with these developments, which can deliver substantially improved cost effectiveness and flexibility, whether through existing suppliers or those new to the European market.
