Border crossing Czech Republic: Schirnding - Marktredwitz
The introduction of ETCS is planned on the route between Arzberg-Schirnding and the Czech border. This first requires the modernisation of the existing control and safety technology. Among other things, this includes the installation of an electronic interlocking (ESTW: Elektronisches Stellwerk).

The standardised European Train Control System (ETCS) is being introduced on the border and line section between Arzberg-Schirnding and the Czech border. As the introduction of ETCS on this route requires modernisation of the existing control and safety technology (LST: Leit- und Sicherungstechnik), this will first be brought up to the current state of the art. The existing relay interlocking will therefore be replaced by an electronic interlocking (ESTW: Elektronische Stellwerke) and the three level crossings will be replaced 1:1. The ETCS route will then be equipped with signals.
ETCS will be introduced as part of the European Deployment Plan (EDP). The EDP is an EU implementing regulation for the Europe-wide introduction of ETCS in rail transport.
