Hitachi Rail España will modernise the signalling of the Ankara-Istanbul train line
Published
The company Hitachi Rail España is going to renew the signalling system of Tunnel 26 and the Bilecik area, on the railway line that connects Ankara and Istanbul, in Turkey. Hitachi Rail is a technology group of Japanese origin, and its Spanish subsidiary is taking part in this modernisation project.
The main aim of the work is to reduce travel times between the two cities. In addition, the improved signalling will make it possible to increase the capacity of the line, that is, to allow more trains to run on the same track. Signalling is the system that controls the safety and movement of trains, which is why its renewal is a very important part of railway infrastructure.
This contract shows the presence of Spanish companies in the international railway sector. Hitachi Rail España is part of a group with great experience in trains and transport systems, and its work in Turkey strengthens the image of the country's railway technology beyond its borders.
In short, the modernisation of the Ankara-Istanbul line seeks to make the journey faster and the rail service more efficient. The signalling renewal works will focus on Tunnel 26 and Bilecik, two key points on the line.
