    Meanwhile, Transport Scotland has declared that they have no intention of ECTS being installed in Scotland.

    They can declare what they like, but unless they're going to design future signalling & control systems in-house, sooner or later this will be all that the supply chain can supply, at least economically.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    By the by, I’m just returning from the Dresden Steam Fest. One of the locos bringing a tour in was a Class 41 (2-8-2 iirc).
    We just happened to catch sight of it the station before it departed, and I noticed two, maybe three VDUs in front of the driver, and a range of electronic gubbins in the cab roof.
    Anyone know the function of these?
