Porterbrook Announces New Approach To Fitting New Tech To Electrostar Trains
The title of this post is the same as that of this article on Rail Advent.
This is the introductory paragraph.
Porterbrook, Siemens Mobility and Bombardier have announced that they have agreed on a new approach to the fitment of ETCS technology onto existing Electrostar trains.
So what does it mean?
It appears have already had benefits in the updating of the Class 387 trains for Heathrow Express.
Hopefully, the approach will mean that all existing Bombardier and Siemens trains in the UK will have a full ETCS fit in as short time as possible.
This must open up the possibility for full digital signalling and greater capacity on lines, that are run exclusively by new trains and recent Bombardier and Siemens products.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
