Railway applications - Communications, signalling and processing systems - ERTMS/ETCS - External signalling for lines equipped with ERTMS/ETCS Level 2

The scope of this Technical Report is to present the different line side information used in 2006 on the ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 lines and required for the application of the ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 operational rules. NOTE The signs described in this Technical Report are only referring to ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 operations. On lines equipped with ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 there may be some additional signs needed for maintenance, degraded modes, transition to and from other signalling systems and other operational rules. These signs are not necessarily described in this Technical Report.

1 Scope
The scope of this Technical Report is to present the different line side information used in 2006 on the
ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 lines and required for the application of the ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 operational rules.
NOTE The signs described in this Technical Report are only referring to ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 operations. On lines
equipped with ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 there may be some additional signs needed for maintenance, degraded modes,
transition to and from other signalling systems and other operational rules. These signs are not necessarily described in
this Technical Report.
