National implementation plan
The Lithuanian National Implementation Plan (NIP) was delivered in 2017. It is compliant with the ERTMS European Deployment Plan with the mentioned sections. However, no detailed plans are provided for some sections (mainly beyond-2023 sections).
According to the Lithuanian NIP:
- There is no information regarding the Class B system or its decommissioning. The Latvian NIP provides information about plans to deploy ERTMS in the 1435 mm section between Kaunas and the Polish border in Rail Baltica. However, no additional information is given concerning the rest of the sections belonging to the Core Network Corridors.
- The Lithuanian NIP does not indicate the ERTMS level planned to be deployed, but updated documents on Rail Baltica indicates that level 2 will be deployed.
