Apparently, this is no longer the case, and the old emulated PDP-11 system was replaced with a new system in 2014–2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29157259

The old system we are talking about here was Ericsson JZA 715, mostly written in Pascal with some parts in PDP-11 assembly, running under RSX-11M. Melbourne was the first site in the Southern Hemisphere for Ericsson's JZA series train control software, going live in 1982. JZA 715 first went live in Oslo in 1979. Earlier iterations of Ericsson's JZA software (JZA 410) went live in Stockholm in 1971 and Copenhagen in 1972.
