Was the traction signalling system has also been adapted electric, i.e. the system that regulates safety and efficiency of the electrified grid, according to the latest standards. The entire technological traffic management system is enhanced with new security features, to facilitate the approach of trains to reception platforms.

The total investment for this first phase amounts to 2.7 million euros. The infrastructural upgrading will ensure Increased transport capacity, reduced costs and an increase in operational flexibility for rail operators, while contributing to the environmental sustainability through the promotion of transport on rail.
