ERTMS

ERTMS

Group risk

The risk that the implementation of ERTMS in line with the programme decision is not feasible due to the inability to realise the necessary changes in time, combined with undue inconvenience for passengers.

Development 2023

In 2023, ERTMS deployment proved to be more complex than anticipated, partly due to the many dependencies between technical and operational adjustments required for the introduction of ERTMS at NS, other carriers and the infrastructure manager. 

Control measures

• The ERTMS programme directorate, NS, ProRail and the other transport operators are working on an alternative test track section (instead of the Hanze Line) to create one that is feasible for NS with less inconvenience to passengers.
