OPERATING EXPERIENCE WITH TRAIN-TO-CONTROL RADIO

After the introduction of train-to-control radio on the routes Hamm-Dortmund-Cologne-Frankfurt/Mainz-Stuttgart- Munich-Salzburg/Kufstein, the first operating results are now available. After a brief review of the trial phase, the author critically compares the hoped for advantages in safety and smoothness of operation and a better service, with actual experience. He also examines the operating staff's attitude to the new system, proneness to fault and the economic factors.
