Moving block in action (JR East Saikyo Line)
bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: Pictures & Videos
Scene at Minami Yono (?) Station on the Saikyo Line. Due to an incident at Musashi Urawa station, the schedule/pathings were disrupted. Thus the stacked trains here. Look at that approach speed and train spacing, as well as quick re-start from stop. A visual example of the benefit of moving block which is a feature of JR East ATACS. ATACS is the equivalent of ERTMS level 3.-

An old (11 years ago) but very interesting article about the failure to raise speeds on the WCML, and how moving blocks on mainlines were still the stuff of fairytales then. Perhaps some relevance to recent news about HS2 being threatened with cancellation. pt.1 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/apr/01/transport.politics pt.2 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/apr/01/transport.politics1
