I'm aware that there were plans to replace the ATP (Automatic Train Protection) system installed on the Chiltern Main Line with Enhanced TPWS (Train Protection Warning System), as the ATP system is facing obsolecence.
I'm wondering if this replacement has started / is ongoing / paused / cancelled. Furthermore, I'm interested to know why ETCS (European Train Control System) wasn't considered, particularly now as sign off has been given to the south end of the East Coast Main Line. I suspect cost will have something to do with the latter?
