RE: ERTMS - PJW - 25-08-2011 The document opens for me ok. Actually I would recommend reading with "healthy scepticism"- let's just say that there is a bit of gloss and spin applied compared to harsh reality. Also a warning that ERTMS consists of various elements including Operational Rules and Radio Communications and what most people here really mean is the sub-set ETCS. Also that this is not "a signalling system" in the way that most assume; it is a specification for the train to trackside to permit interoperability between different countries and between different manufacturers. It concerns itself primarily with "the air gap" - communication via radio and via balise. This does not make the implementation of ETCS in one environment the same as the implementation in another any more than the functionality of a relay interlocking from one site to another is the same merely because both installation utilise the same type of relays.

What you should have for free is Appendix V of the Module 2 Study Pack on the Exam DVD. I included here an explanation of ETCS which I regard as more than sufficient for an exam student attempting any of the modules, not just module 2. Indeed I venture to suggest that it would be a good idea if all those who pontificate about the subject actually understood it to this level of detail!
