The recommended current (post 2016?) method for new fleet ASDO CSDE etc is to use the industry standard square ETCS balises for positioning rather than the older H-S tracklink3 or other proprietary ones.Slightly off topic perhaps unless it’s relevant to 345s but new Balise beacons have appeared on the west side of Liverpool Street since work started on lengthening the platforms on platform 17 and 18. Anybody know what their purpose is? We already have CSDE beacons on all the platforms. They are identical to the square yellow ones you see littered around stratford for ATO. As usual NR have said nothing... drivers are questioning and nobody seems to know..
Hence I'd go for use with 720s on WAML rather than Crossrail.
