The Department is working with Network Rail and the industry to assess the case for an accelerated roll out of digital signalling technologies, which is affordable, and targeted at areas where capacity and performance are needed most.

This work includes developing options and a business case for the £450m of National Infrastructure Investment Fund allocation announced in the Autumn Statement last year.
