Signalling the Future 2025
Full day conference now available for purchase on-demand
Signalling the Future was hosted in London on 31 January 2025, delivering expert engineering and operational insights into European Train Control System (ETCS) and Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) technologies, examining real-world implementations and performance data from railway signalling and communication systems around the globe.
The event featured an exciting line-up of international speakers from organizations across Australia, France, India, Netherlands, Singapore, and the UK. Technical presentations covered both mass transit and mainline applications, including detailed case studies of recent ETCS Level 2 deployments, CBTC optimisation strategies, and cyber security considerations for digital railway systems.
Each of the four sessions was followed by a Q&A session with the live audience in the room.
This seminar addresses the question; ‘How can we better collaborate to overcome challenges and signal a better future for our sector?’
