The European ERTMS Coordinator published the Third Work Plan on the status of European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) deployment across EU Member States. While there is progress and renewed political commitment to modernising Europe’s railway infrastructure and rolling stock, the work plan highlights that deployment is uneven and slower than required.
ERTMS aims to enhance the safety, efficiency, and interoperability of rail transport across Europe by standardising signalling and communication systems. To guide this transition, the EU has established long‑term milestones in the TEN-T regulation, starting with the requirement to deploy ERTMS on the TEN-T Core Network by 2030 and gradually extending to the rest of the TEN-T network by 2050.
