Could the East Coast Digital Programme be a template for major projects under Great British Railways? The Railway Industry Association thinks so. COURTESY RIA
Railway Industry Association Technical Director David Clarke says the East Coast Digital Programme should lead the way for a national digital signalling programme and other major schemes.
In an independent report published on 13 January, it says the programme should be considered as the default model for future schemes across the industry – not just in signalling, but in other areas such as electrification and rolling stock. Mr Clarke said: This offers a delivery model for Great British Railways, bringing track and train together.’
