Alstom has successfully supplied, installed and tested Australia’s first ETCS Level 2 signalling in New South Wales as a pilot trial as part of the Automatic Train Protection Project for the State’s transport authority, Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW). The installation of both the on-board and trackside equipment covers 4 test trains and an area of 11 km between the suburbs of Arncliffe and Oatley, in the South of Sydney.
The pilot project allows TfNSW and the operator, Sydney Trains, to test the functionalities of the ETCS system which will support the further roll-out across critical sections of Sydney network. Deployment of the ETCS technology will enhance the safety and improve the capacity of the rail corridors.
As an additional part of the project, Alstom is also delivering its ETCS Level 1 solution, ATLAS 100, to TfNSW for more than 1400 signals and 168 trains to further enhance safety and capacity of the network.
