ETCS/LZB?

[Amaretto]

Any word on if we will have Train protection systems like Etcs/Lzb?

ETCS Lvl 3 would allow you to have a lot of trains pretty close following each other, as it uses dynamic blocks and not static.

And doesn't actually exist on any main line network anywhere. Current plan in UK is to keep fixed blocks with markers like level 2, but use level 3 techniques (onboard train length determination and consist continuity) to avoid the need for fixed train detection equipment for every block, except around junctions where it's an additional safegaurd to ensure the junction is really clear of traffic before moving turnouts.
