European Train Control Systems - A forward look
An overview of the objectives, status and progress of the Digital Railway delivery of European Train Control System (ETCS) on the UK network. Looking at the East Coast Digital Programme and then the wider view of where next. We will look at the technology behind Digital Signalling and the plans to roll this out into Southern Region. We will look into nuances and issues with delivering the technology into service, looking at infrastructure, trains and the wider change and integration piece.

Why have weather forecasts improved?
Technological developments have underpinned the increase in accuracy of weather forecasts. In particular, from the mid-1960s the use of increasingly sophisticated numerical models coupled with an enhanced availability of observations have led to modern five-day forecasts being as accurate as one-day forecasts 50 years ago. These developments will be discussed along with how numerical models are used to understand how the climate system works and how it might change in the future.
