question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are requiring all new-build passenger coaches to be equipped with compatible European Train Control System equipment to reduce the delays and costs of retrofitting.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL5864
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Transport’s current policy is to require that all newly-built rolling stock meet the industry standards either for full fitment or to be made ready for European Train Control System (ETCS) fitment. Full fitment is appropriate where trains will be operating over routes fitted with ETCS signalling. ‘Made ready’ is appropriate to reduce the delays and costs of retrofitting once a route has been identified as being part of a fully funded ETCS deployment plan. This ensures that, when fitted, the trains will have the latest version of software compatible with the infrastructure equipment being deployed and that costly upgrades to trains fitted with out-of-date software are avoided.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/03/2018 11:37:02 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they consider that European Train Control System (ETCS) level 3 signalling will be installed successfully on the complete United Kingdom rail network within the 15 year timescale to which Network Rail is committed; when the European Commission issued the latest specification for this; and what consideration they have given to contingency plans to retain existing signalling if ETCS level 3 operation is delayed.
tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
uin	HL5213
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2015 answer text <p>The current national deployment plan for ETCS is based upon Level 2 technology and not Level 3. The European specifications for ETCS Level 3 are not yet fully complete. We await timescales from the European Commission on when the specifications for ETCS Level 3 will become available.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 09/03/2015 15:59:52 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2015 answer text <p>I am aware that there is currently very little evidence of Level 3 of the European Traffic Management System (ERTMS) successfully deployed on a mixed traffic railway.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>Network Rail, which leads the industry deployment of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), is fully engaged within European groups involved in ERTMS rollout. In particular Network Rail is looking closely at the Danish deployment, which will deliver ERTMS onto mixed traffic corridors. The assessments of Network Rail are fed into national planning activities for ERTMS implementation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 28/10/2014 15:26:13 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
