1 Scope
The scope of this Technical Report is to present the different line side information used in 2006 on the
ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 lines and required for the application of the ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 operational rules.
NOTE The signs described in this Technical Report are only referring to ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 operations. On lines
equipped with ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 there may be some additional signs needed for maintenance, degraded modes,
