Network Rail’s much-delayed £1.2bn driver communications system will be obsolete long before it is rolled out , says the government strategy on the future of the railways (link below.) http://www.rmtbristol.org.uk/2007/08/network_rails_communications_s.html#moreThe Global System for Mobile Communications – Railways (GSM-R) project was established in 2003 to create secure voice and data links between train drivers and signallers. It was originally expected to be up and running by 2008 , but budget constraints and technical issues have pushed the deadline back – first to 2010 , and then to 2013. GSM-R trials have already begun , but the Rail Technical Strategy issued last week says the technology will be out of date by the time it is deployed. Network Rail says it may never be able to install state-of-the-art IT across the UK. |
