Norske Tog has installed signal boosters on 184 train sets. For passengers, this will mean better, more stable coverage when travelling by train.
Cab radio systems are a safety system designed to ensure that radio contact is maintained between trains and train traffic controllers. The cab radio systems used at present are no longer in production and it is now necessary to procure new systems.
The current outdated technology will be replaced with a databased signalling system that is common for all European countries.
Norske tog has entered an agreement with Alstom to buy 30 commuter trains to replace the current commuter train, Class 69, which has reached its estimated lifetime.
Norske Tog has entered into a contract with the Swedish company Alstom Transport AB for a mid-life upgrade of Class 72.
Several of the current long-distance trains are more than 40 years old and approaching the end of their service life. Norske Tog have therefore opened a competitive tender to procure new long-distance trains.
