And, I have read the article. It is very interesting, but why does TfL have to be so non-standard. Can they not utilize a system compatible with the rest of the UK. So, which ATO system is in use in the rest of the UK? The UK is supposed to be moving towards ERTMS. Surely TfL could utilize that as a baseline? Not sure I invited sarcasm? The signalling systems on national rail networks and metros around the world largely tend to differ, from what I have seen. Correct. But, a couple of points are pertinent. 1. There is not point in having a standard if a major operator goes ahead and ignores it. And, 2. Other Metro systems with which I am familiar (Marta, LA Co Metro) are physically separate from external systems, save for stock delivery sidings. TfL's system is not just inner city rapid transit; it is also a suburban railway. As such it has numerous shared routes with other operators. This I know. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
