This is potentially very significant for the roll out of ETCS (a signaling and safety system for the whole continent for rail)

Previously retrofitting old trains with ETCS has been hellish hard and/or expensive. The Signalling Company - a Belgian firm that belongs to Škoda, and has been working most closely with freight operator Lineas - has now got its first lower cost retrofit approved:

(and apologies if I am veering away from my core political rail work here, but over and over I hear ETCS is too complex and costly to retrofit. This *might* be a solution. But it might well bring other problems too. If you have quibbles with The Signalling Company's approach please raise those with them not me)
