We are in discussion witrh Network Rail about the plans for the Basingstoke to Exeter resignalling and in reply NR say 'Cabling to Basingstoke is not a problem as FTN is being installed this year for the whole line as part of a separate project.' Can anyone enlighten me as to the meaning of FTN? Tony Reese tony.reese@mail.com Log in to reply |
