Despite the fact that Europe is no closer to having an interoperable railway through the creation of a standard signalling system, a strategy is now emerging for the rollout of ETCS in many countries, as David Briginshaw explains.
German Rail (DB) is spearheading the campaign to get open-source software accepted for ETCS applications in Europe, awarding the first contract for open-source onboard equipment, as David Briginshaw reports.
Hyundai Rotem has awarded Thales a contract to supply communications-based train control (CBTC) on the 12km extension of the Sin Bundang metro line from Jeongia to Gwanggyo.
