Just curious as to what's happeneing lately with the 97/3's & the ERTMS project? Any ideas how long it's going on for, and what's happening to the 97/3's once the project is completed?
ERTMS nationally is a loooooooong way off. You wont see 66s with it for a good few years.
Because the system has never been used by traincrew here, signallers here, S&T engineers here and basically all staff in the UK who will come in to contact with it. Or do you advocate bringing in lots of staff from abroad, who know the systems, therefore depriving our own struggling employment market of much needed jobs?I'm still unsure why we need such vigorous testing of a system that's used all over Europe...

HS1 has TVM430, the same system as used on French LGVs (and in the Channel Tunnel)

And thats a bad thing because......?
Its not, just saying that you wont see 66s with ERTMS or up the Cambrian (unless dead in tow of a 97) for a long time.
Well it is Ansaldo.... Have they managed to get any Fyras for NS working yet?
