BELGIUM : ETCS L1 LS IMPLEMENTATION

Description

Infrabel has developed an ETCS Masterplan, aiming at deploying ETCS step by step over the entire railway network. The ambition is to have all Belgian lines operated with ETCS by the end of 2025. By then, Infrabel must therefore equips its entire infrastructure with ETCS. The Masterplan indicates which railway line will be equipped with ETCS, and at what level. On the Belgian network, Infrabel has chosen to set up a combination of ETCS level 1 Full Supervision, ETCS level 1 Limited Supervision and ETCS level 2 Full Supervision. In March 2021, 73 km of track are equipped with ETCS Level 1 Limited Supervision.
