#75 – Views on HS2 with Andy Harrison

Doc Frank chats with a repeat guest on the show, Andy Harrison from London in England. Inevitably the discussion starts with a question about Andy’s views on the controversial High Speed 2 project, and all of a sudden this topic filled almost the entire episode. A little bit on the High Speed Rail planning in Australia had to be added to the mix as well, making it another jam-packed episode with insights on how to do High Speed Rail, and how not to.

Show notes:

1)      CBTC and enhanced varieties of ETCS promise an increase of signalling capacity, but fulfillment falls short if not applied properly. The “High Capacity Signalling Blueprint” training teaches how it is done properly. More information here:

2)      Interoperability of digital signalling systems is an acute challenge not just for the Australian railway market, but also other places where interoperability between different systems is required. The best and most specific training on the market is aptly called Digital Signalling Interoperability, and as listener of this show you get a special 10% discount until 30 June by going to https://docfranktraining.podia.com/interoperability and applying the code DSIPODCAST at checkout.
