The present invention provides a braking system (11) for braking a train. The system comprises an electronically controlled pneumatic brake network (ECP) and a brake activation unit (14). The brake activation unit provides status reports regarding the condition of the ECP and comprises at least one sensor for monitoring one or more properties of the ECP, and at least one venting means adapted to vent the pressure from a brake pipe (21). The system also comprises a telecommunication network (15, 17, 19) adapted to communicate with the brake activation unit. The brake activation unit can be activated using the telecommunication network to vent the pressure from the brake pipe, causing the train to brake.
