Siemens set to complete Victoria resignalling treble

THE third phase of the Victoria resignalling programme will be carried out by Siemens Mobility.

Having already carried out phases one and two, Siemens is scheduled to deliver the final phase three commissioning during a nine-day blockade over Christmas and New Year 2022.

Life-expired signalling and telecoms equipment, power supplies for traction, and signals will be replaced by network-based digital signalling, traffic management systems, and train control equipment designed to provide increased capacity and lower operating costs.

Covering the area between London Victoria and Streatham Hill, as well as the West London Line from Clapham Junction towards Shepherd’s Bush, the work is part of NR’s £750 million Sussex Railway Upgrade Plan.

Control of the area will switch to Three Bridges Rail Operating Centre.
