Network Rail Selects Siemens and Atkins as Digital Railway Partners

UK – Network Rail has chosen Siemens and Atkins to work on a large-scale programme to introduce in-cab signalling on the southern section of the East Coast Main Line.

These upgrade works will reduce passenger delays by thousands of hours, says Network Rail. Siemens and Atkins will contribute hugely to the delivery of the East Coast Digital Programme (ECDP). The initial 350 million GBP (375 million euros | 405 million USD) investment in the programme is going towards the introduction of real-time digital signalling along the East Coast Main Line and towards laying the foundations for a nationwide roll-out.

The East Coast Main Line will become the first intercity digital railway in the country, with trains being equipped with in-cab signalling, while old lineside signals are removed. Consequently, signallers will be able to communicate with trains continuously instead of merely at fixed points. They will be able to issue instructions and give responses in real time. All of this will significantly reduce delays and improve performance.
