ERTMS Trials On The Hertford Loop
Network Rail plans to use Eversholt Rail owned unit 313121 as a test vehicle for European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) on the Hertford Loop, where it hopes to have the facility running by 2014 or earlier. The plan involves resignalling a 5.5 mile section of the double track route to allow existing services to use only one line, freeing the other for ERTMS tests.

Famous quotes containing the word trials:
“It is time to provide a smashing answer for those cynical men who say that a democracy cannot be honest, cannot be efficient.... We have in the darkest moments of our national trials retained our faith in our own ability to master our own destiny.”
