WALES AND BORDERS OPERATING STAFF ARE PIONEERING TMS AND PTL, RHODRI CLARK DISCOVERED ON A RECENT VISIT TO THE WALES RAILWAY OPERATING CENTRE
Network Rail’s Wales and Borders Route is not unusual in having invested in major resignalling over recent years. What sets it apart from other Routes is that it is the first to introduce the Passenger Time Lost (PTL) performance metric and also the first to use the Aramis Traffic Management System (TMS). The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) to record train positions is also proposed.
