Digital Railway focuses on capacity

摘要

Last month was due to see the completion of outline business cases for the implementation of digital train control technology on eight priority routes, according to Network Rail's Managing Director, Digital Railway, David Waboso. Brought in from Transport for London to head up the cross-sector programme a year ago, Waboso has been taking a long hard look at the Digital Railway concept. When launched in 2014, this all-embracing cross-industry strategy encompassed train control, asset management and customer information systems, but following discussions with train operators and suppliers, he wants to focus initially on the train control applications.
