Norwegian railways upgrades signalling system
By the beginning of 2021, trains equipped with Alstom’s latest ERTMS Baseline 3 Release 2 (BL3R2) onboard train control system will be ready for commercial service in Norway.
Now, the first locomotive furnished with the upgraded signalling system has started digital test runs monitored from the test lab at Bane NOR’s Nyland facility outside of Oslo. Real runs of the Di8 test locomotive will take place for ten days on the test line between Roa and Honefoss, Alstom said.
The contract for the on-board signalling project was signed in June 2018 and consists of frame contracts for fourteen different railway vehicle owners. The depot, where installation is performed, is located next to Campus Nyland in Norway. (ben)
