Turkey receives ETCS-equipped locomotives
Alstom has handed over the first locomotive, out of 26, equipped with the European train control system (ETCS) level 1 & 2 as part of the company’s contract with the Turkish rail company TCDD to supply signalling and telecommunications systems on the line connecting Eskişehir, about 260 km east of Ankara, to Balıkesir near the Aegean coast.
This 328 km long rail link also serves the city of Kütahya. The new signalling system will enable TCDD to manage its rail services on the Eskişehir-Balıkesir corridor efficiently and seamlessly. Additionally, it will help increase the line’s capacity, Alstom said. (ben)
