A decommissioning system for decommissioning multiple sections of a railway track, wherein said system is comprised of a cluster of interface means and decommissioning means , said system comprising a plurality of: - decommissioning means configured to decommission at least one section of the railway track and close it off to trains by generating an occupancy indication; - communication means configured to receive a command to decommission the at least one section of the railway track and to deliver status information regarding a section of the railway track that has or has not been decommissioned; - control means configured to control the decommissioning means to decommission the at least one track section on the basis of said command; and - interface means which can be physically connected to a train safety system of the railway track on the one side and to the decommissioning means on the other side and which are configured to activate the decommissioning of the section of the railway track within the train safety supervision level on the basis of said command by generating an occupancy indication to the train safety system; wherein at least each interface means and decommissioning means are accommodated in different housings of a train safety system, or accommodated in different signal equipment buildings of said train safety system, such that each housing or signal equipment building is provided with an interface means and associated decommissioning means, for said system to decommission said multiple sections associated with different housings of train safety systems or different signal equipment building, and for each of said interface means and decommissioning means to decommission a respective section of said multiple sections on the basis of a single decommissioning command. - decommissioning means configured to decommission at least one section of the railway track and close it off to trains by generating an occupancy indication; - communication means configured to receive a command to decommission the at least one section of the railway track and to deliver status information regarding a section of the railway track that has or has not been decommissioned; - control means configured to control the decommissioning means to decommission the at least one track section on the basis of said command; and - interface means which can be physically connected to a train safety system of the railway track on the one side and to the decommissioning means on the other side and which are configured to activate the decommissioning of the section of the railway track within the train safety supervision level on the basis of said command by generating an occupancy indication to the train safety system; wherein at least each interface means and decommissioning means are accommodated in different housings of a train safety system, or accommodated in different signal equipment buildings of said train safety system, such that each housing or signal equipment building is provided with an interface means and associated decommissioning means, for said system to decommission said multiple sections associated with different housings of train safety systems or different signal equipment building, and for each of said interface means and decommissioning means to decommission a respective section of said multiple sections on the basis of a single decommissioning command. <EOS>
