4. 2. Spanish ETCS Deployment Plan
The “Spanish ETCS Deployment Plan” sent to EC, plans to install ETCS by 2030 in the lines belonging to Mediterranean and Atlantic corridors plus lines constructed before 2020 (in green) , and additional lines completing main connections (in yellow).

Nevertheless the pending challenges still are:
Reduce ETCS cost (on board and trackside) in order to make economically feasible this Deployment Plan
Reduce ETCS cost to deploy it in the rest of conventional network to increase the safety.
Backwards Compatibility of BL3 trains running over BL2 lines . Most of the Spanish lines would be d.
Deployment of new functionalities as ATO or Galileo
Speeding up the process of Placing in Service
Low Cost ETCS

Increase the role of ETCS testing labs
