7. Demonstrating Digital Railway : Norwich – Yarmouth – Lowestoft
Will take Digital Railway a step beyond early testing at Thameslink and Cambrian line during CP5.
First time ETCS Level 2 and Traffic Management will be integrated based on Phase 2 systems architecture.
Final approval April 2016
Target completion March 2019
The site is:
Representative of the wider network
Renewal required in CP5
Linked to Rail Operating Centre (ROC) with full rollout early in programme sequence
Manageable fleet fitment/driver training
Operationally low risk
The deployment will demonstrate and prove:
That the different systems can be integrated
The business change required to implement the national toolkit
The capability and business benefits;
The assumptions made in the business case including cost
The change can be made to minimise performance disruption
