Media: Lithuanian Railways continues using Russian-made locomotive safety system

News website Lrytas has reported that state-owned enterprise Lithuanian Railways (LTG) launched a EUR 2.2 million tender for the procurement of maintenance services for the KLUB-U train control system.

Based on the article, the Russian-made KLUB-U (Unified Integrated Train Protection System) already attracted the attention of the Lithuanian Parliament’s Committee on National Security and Defence five years ago. Legislators concluded after a probe that the system is incompatible with Lithuania’s national security interests and had to be replaced by equipment of reliable manufacturers.
