£350m Investment For Britain’s First Mainline Digital Railway
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Rail Technology Magazine.
This is the introductory paragraph.
The East Coast Main Line will become Britain’s first mainline digital rail link with £350m of new investment to install state-of-the-art electronic signalling designed to cut journey times and prevent delays.
We’re finally going digital!
https://www.railnews.co.uk/news/2020/06/22-government-confirms-digital-goahead-for.html points out that this funding only covers as far as Stoke Tunnel, and is years late. At this rate, I’m not expecting full conversion to ETCS in my lifetime.
