Norway’s National Rail Administration Norway (Jernbaneverket) is committed to carrying out the ERTMS implementation in the Norwegian railway network.
According to the National ERTMS Implementation Plan of Jernbaneverket, in 2030 a description of high-level signalling renewal program and implementation of ERTMS Level 2 baseline 3 will be completed.
The planned sequence and timing for implementation are aligned with several factors:
• The age of the existing signalling systems
• The need to eliminate railway sections without interlocks
• The need to avoid “islands” with class B systems
• A desire for the initial deployment of the new TMS
The total cost of implementing the ERTMS program in Norway is estimated approximately in 1.7 billion and 2.2 billion euros.
