Continued investment in new technologies is vital to deliver decarbonisation goals and to enhance the passenger experience on Scotland’s Railway, Telent’s Ken Kyle will tell attendees at the Rail North of the Border Conference and Exhibition next month.
Telent are already working with Network Rail Scotland on a £5m enhancements package on the Far North Line, which includes removing the need for passengers at some stations to use hand-signals to request a train to stop – passengers wishing to board the train will now alert the driver via a request to stop kiosk. This utilises the upgraded RETB radio signalling system deployed by Telent and will deliver an improved passenger experience.
