FACTS in UK

Hey friends! Possibly 5 years past came I to England to visit ATC colleagues. I was also at the visit to the ATC university in Bournemouth. There I saw FACTS system and it was explained and also that soon you will use it all. My Q? What happened? Do you use FACTS or new systems? friends!

Allegedly, the northern half of The U.K. will soon be using 'EFD'.
Not 'FACTS', but pure 'FICTION'.
On a WACOM panel to boot!

Red Hat Linux will make it more reliable than Windows ever would

Is EFD/FACTS pencilled in for the whole of Europe, under the 'Single European Sky' thingy?
Should I dash out and buy shares in WACOM?

I think the poster is referring to iFACTS, the system being introduced at Swanwick.
