Ineco will continue to offer its experience in railway signalling by working as a systems integrator for the British company, Network Rail Consulting (NRC) until mid-2024. The purpose of the contract is to support Transport for NSW, in the definition, integration and implementation of the network\u2019s new rail systems, as a sub- contracted consultant to NRC together with the companies Acmena and Go- Ahead Group.<\/p>\n
The contract is part of the Digital Systems Program, which aims to upgrade signalling to European Train Control Systems (ETCS) Level\u00a0 2 which is part of the European ERTMS system for the rail operator and manager, Sydney Trains. This is a critical factor in enabling the network to significantly increase its capacity and absorb future demand. The installation of a rail traffic management system will also improve efficiency in incident response.<\/p>\n
In December 2018, the NSW government announced an investment of more than $800 million in technology improvements in order to modernise parts of the Sydney Trains network, including the development of digital systems, to be brought into service gradually. The contract extension allows this work to be continued over the next few years.<\/p>\n
