<p>Network Rail is funded to deliver the national rollout of the European Rail Traffic
Management System (ERTMS) and they are working closely with cross-industry stakeholders
to do so. The first routes where ERTMS will be used the core section of the Thameslink
route in mid 2018 and the East Coast south (from Kings Cross to Peterborough) from
2018. In addition we will secure the train fit part of ERTMS as part of our new franchise
program. Both the new Thameslink Southern Great Northern (TSGN) and East Coast franchisees
are obligated to work with Network Rail to deliver train services under ERTMS control
as the system gradually rolls out.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
