this month ÖBB awarded Thales a contract to supply, integrate and
deploy ETCS Level 2 on new sections of the Vienna - St Pölten main
line, and on the 148km Brenner line between Kufstein and Brennero.
Siemens
has already equipped 13 class 1116s to operate with ETCS Level 1, which
was introduced on the Austrian section of the Vienna-Budapest line in
2007.
