On the night of August 16, 2015, the ETCS Level 2 train control system was put into operation on the 19-kilometer section between Brunnen and Erstfeld. The Castione–Arbedo–Bodio section followed on December 6, 2015, a month late. ETCS according to SRS 2.3.0d is used on the Gotthard railway – for the first time in Switzerland. [Wikipedia]
