#77 – The Change to ETCS with Cara Cohen

Doc Frank chats with Cara Cohen from England. She is an organisational psychologist currently working as Business Change Manager supporting the introduction of the European Train Control System (ETCS) to British rail freight operator Freightliner. An insightful episode for anyone not knowing what a Change Manager does and why it makes sense to have one when introducing advanced digital signalling to a railway organisation.

Show notes:

1)      ECDP is the East Coast Digital Programme which will introduce ETCS Level 2 on parts of the busy East Coast Mainline, one of the main north-south rail arteries in Britain.

2)      The well-proven “ETCS Kickstarter” course is arguably one of the best ETCS trainings there is and has already helped more than 200 professionals in Australia and New Zealand to boost their understanding of the European Train Control System, regardless of their prior knowledge of signalling. The online version of this iconic training is being created as we speak and will allow railway professionals from anywhere in the world to watch the training lessons on demand.
