Join the RTSA for 2 technical presentations on recent deployment of railway technology systems on international projects:

ETCS Rollout on East Coast Mainline

Mike Odling is major projects delivery director for Mott MacDonald in Australia. Mike was the Delivery Director leading the integrated delivery partner for the uniquely collaborative ETCS programme on ECML. Mike has wide range of rail experience including leading the design JV as Programme Director on HS2. The rollout of ETCS on the East Coast Main Line will be the UK’s first intercity mainline to be upgraded to digital signalling in the UK and will lay the foundation for further improvements across the network. The programme included preparing all businesses for ETCS Level 2 operation.

ETCS Rollout in Belgian Railways

Thomas Laguérie is an ETCS Engineer with Mott MacDonald specialising in railway signalling systems and integrated systems design. Thomas has developed expertise in ERTMS deployment, system architecture, and functional specification analysis, contributing to major European rail projects for Infrabel and was part of the ERTMS Users Group based in Brussels. Belgium’s RIM, Infrabel, has recently completed the nationwide rollout of ETCS. This presentation highlights key milestones from the origins to its rapid acceleration in recent years, the benefits now realized, and a glimpse into Infrabel’s Vision 2040 for a smarter, more connected railway.
