Description

Network Rail is introducing digital signalling, which will see traditional lineside signals removed and replaced with European Train Control Systems (ETCS) technology. The implementation will enable continuous, real-time information to the train driver’s cab. ETCS is an in-cab signalling system that enables trains to run closer together, safely and to travel at their optimal speeds. To implement ETCS, it requires changes to signalling infrastructure and fitment of in-cab technology on locomotives. NR is intending to procure a framework to enable the design, supply, installation (fitment), test and put back into service of ETCS equipment fitted across a range of existing locomotive classes, including electric, diesel and steam across the Charter & Heritage and Freight sectors. Network Rail has developed a proposed procurement approach which it now wishes to test with the supply chain to ensure it is both successful in procurement and in operation and therefore we seek the supply chains support in testing this proposed approach that we shall details in our Market Engagement launch and questionnaires thereafter.
