Written question asked by Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Attlee (Conservative) on Tuesday, 5 April 2011.


Railways: European Train Management System

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 28 March (WA 225), what assessment they have made of whether the results of the Cambrian trial suggest that lines which are not likely to be used by international trains should be given a lower priority in future investment plans.
Answer

The current National Implementation Plan was based on an analysis that showed the deployment of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) to replace life expired existing signalling to be more cost effective than replacement with conventional signalling. The update of the UK ERTMS National Implementation Plan will review this earlier analysis and set out the priorities for future investment plans.
