What is the digital railway strategy?

The UK rail network faces several challenges. At peak times, the busiest parts of the network are overcrowded as the largely Victorian infrastructure struggles to cope with the increase in passengers and freight. This results in slower journeys and an increased likelihood of trains running late.

The UK’s rail network plays an important role in supporting sustainable economic growth by quickly moving large numbers of passengers and goods around the country and to international transport hubs safely. With the increased demands on the rail network and the continued growth it’s expected to see, several challenges arise. As the network is being stretched beyond capacity, digital rail solutions are necessary to increase efficiency and performance.

Implementing the digital railway strategy

The digital railway strategy aims to help deploy digital rail solutions in areas that will have the most significant value on the rail industry. Upgrading traditional signalling to digital signalling and fully utilizing digital railway software will lead to improved communication and performance, heightened safety measures for passengers and workers, and the ability for the rail network to efficiently handle increased capacity. This will directly improve timetable compliance, helping trains to run on time while also being more energy efficient as they travel at the optimum speed to reach timing points correctly.
