Does The Br430 Have Lzb

As the title reads pretty much.

I notcied using the CTRL + ENTER method only turned on PZB. But my online research suggests it has it. Is google wrong or is DTG doing a DTG?

 

Its not featured in on this train.

 

The route is set in 2018, at this time the Frankfurt S-Bahn network was not yet equipped with LZB.

You can easily tell whether LZB is available on a section by looking at the cable in the middle of the tracks.
If there is a cable, LZB is available; if there is no cable, LZB is not available.

 

It does not have LZB. At least not the Frankfurt version.
If you are unsure if a loco does/doesnt have LZB, you can usually recognize it
by the fact that there is a bar-like distance meter directly in front of you, which lights up after LZB is activated.
In more modern locos this is often displayed differently and not easy noticeable.

 

There are some LZB sections near the airport that the S8 runs along from my limited knowledge

 

I saw the normal location for an MFD LZB panel was there but then of course other replies say it wasnt fully LZB ready yet. Thats fair enough then i just thought DTG may have just "forgot" like they did with the 442 and some Dostos

 

There is a small section of LZB at the airport's overground station, but the S8 and S9 take a different route to the underground station.

 

LZB in regional trains is not very common.... Even trains with a maximum speed of 160km/h have no LZB. LZB will also be replaced by ETCS so newer trains have ETCS instead of LZB to be more future proof

 

Which raises a valid point- to future proof themselves, DTG are going to have to implement ETCS, and not just for German routes. They already have a basis, in that Rivet got it mostly right (and partially wrong) on Luzerne-Surzee. But it has to come, because DB and the other European systems are finally rolling it out now.

 

There's no reason to add LZB for a train that cannot reach speeds higher than 160km/h.

 

There is when you consider some lines are far too high capacity to be equipped with just PZB.

 

Ill hear your point and ill raise you the BR423. Uses LZB for close running high capacity work near Munchen on Munchen-Augsburg

 

Actually it’s very useful for traffic control
