Thanks.

How will the pilot be able to tell whether the aircraft in front is in fact 2500m ahead when crossing the threshold?

I'm guessing maybe TCAS?

Or is it down to ATC, i.e. if the landed aircraft does not satisfy the separation requirement a 'go-around' will be issued to the approaching aircraft...?
