The implementation of Digital Railway technology is well underway with the introduction of the European Train Control System (ETCS) and Automatic Train Operation (ATO) on the Thameslink Core Route through central London.

ETCS and ATO will allow the running of more trains, at a frequency of up to one train every 2-3 minutes, more safely and reliably than ever before.

Pennant - Track Access continue to work closely with Govia Thameslink Railway to capture and produce Driver Route Videos as a valuable tool to assist with learning and maintaining route knowledge. 

​Ongoing improvement works in line with Network Rail’s national operating strategy see the strategically important Durham Coast and Tees Valley Lines in the North East of England upgraded as part of the Durham Coast Resignalling Project.
