EU RAIL SYSTEM - British Safety system delayed again - by Lisa Kelly

The proposed Europe-wide computerised safety system for high-speed trains will not be fully in place in the UK for another 30 years, said the plan submitted to the EU last week. The rollout of the Euro 5.5 bn European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) will take until 2038 to complete, with main lines only starting to get the technology from 2025, according to the British Department for Transport (DfT) schedule.
