With the inauguration of India’s first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) last week, rail equipment manufacturer Alstom also marked the global debut of its modern signalling systems with integrated platform screening doors. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had flagged off the first Namo Bharat train on a 17-km stretch of the Delhi-Meerut RRTS between Sahibabad and Duhai Depot on Friday.
“The European Train Control System (ETCS) signalling system will not only facilitate inter-operability but will also allow to optimise the usage of existing infrastructure, thus reducing the waiting time for passengers,” a statement from Alstom-India said.
