Railway Signalling Upgrade Targets Shift From Mechanical to Electronic Systems

A project to modernise railway signalling and control systems aims to replace traditional mechanical technology with electronic systems across the entire network.

The planned transition is part of a strategic effort to upgrade railway infrastructure, with transport safety at the centre of the shift.

Signalling and control systems are essential to managing train movements. Moving to electronic technology is intended to modernise how those operations are coordinated.

The project’s stated ambition extends to all network lines. The brief announcement did not provide a timetable, budget or details of how the transition would be phased.
