  - railway undertakings operating on the line shall be given notice of these temporary exceptions, of their geographic location, their nature and the means of signalling, by means of notices describing where required, the type of specific signals used
;
4. in clause 4.2.3.2.4 ‘Lateral space for passengers in the event of detrainment outside of a station’, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:
On existing lines, upgraded for high-speed, a similar lateral space shall be provided at all locations where this provision is reasonably practicable. Where a sufficient space cannot be provided, both ends of the zone of restricted movement shall be signposted on site and operators shall be informed of this specific situation
;
5. clause 4.2.3.2.6 is deleted;
6. in clause 4.3.1 ‘Lines specially built for high-speed’, the fifth paragraph is replaced by the following:
Such requirements differing from those needed to achieve the basic performance levels of the network shall be applied for each relevant parameter or interface in a uniform way on each section of high-speed line to be built or being planned
;
7. in clause 4.3.2 ‘Lines specially upgraded for high-speed’, the fifth paragraph is deleted;
8. clause 4.3.3.8(a) ‘Cant deficiency on plain track and on the main track of switches and crossings’ is amended as follows:
  1. in sub-clause ‘Lines specially built for high-speed’, the fourth paragraph is replaced by the following:
On lines, the radii of which have been defined on the basis of the cant deficiency values in the above table, interoperable high-speed trains equipped with special mechanisms (tilting) may be admitted to run with higher cant deficiency values, provided that adopting such values for those trains does not bring about restrictions for other interoperable trains. The maximum cant deficiency value shall be fixed, in the case of trains equipped with particular mechanisms (tilting trains inter alia), for each interoperable line, by application of the national regulations for the type of train concerned. The approval of these trains to enter service shall be subject to the requirements of the rolling stock TSI
;
  2. in sub-clause ‘Lines specially upgraded for high-speed and connecting lines’, the fifth paragraph is replaced by the following:
On lines, the radii of which have been defined on the basis of the cant deficiency values in the above table, interoperable high-speed trains equipped with special mechanisms (tilting) may be admitted to run with higher cant deficiency values, provided that adopting such values for those trains does not bring about restrictions for other interoperable trains. The maximum cant deficiency value shall be fixed, in the case of trains equipped with particular mechanisms (tilting trains inter alia), for each interoperable line, by application of the national regulations for the type of train concerned. The approval of these trains to enter service shall be subject to the requirements of the rolling stock TSI
;
  3. in sub-clause ‘Lines specially built or upgraded for high-speed having special features’, the third paragraph is replaced by the following:
On lines, the radii of which have been defined on the basis of the cant deficiency values in the above table, interoperable high-speed trains equipped with special mechanisms (tilting) may be admitted to run with higher cant deficiency values, provided that adopting such values for those trains does not bring about restrictions for other interoperable trains. The maximum cant deficiency value shall be fixed, in the case of trains equipped with particular mechanisms (tilting trains inter alia), for each interoperable line, by application of the national regulations for the type of train concerned. The approval of these trains to enter service shall be subject to the requirements of the rolling stock TSI
;
9. in clause 4.3.3.21 ‘Resistance of the track, switches and crossings to braking and acceleration forces’, sub-clause ‘Thermal condition’, first paragraph, the second indent is replaced by the following:
  - case 2: for other braking cases, such as a normal service braking for speed reduction or non-repetitive braking to a halt, or repetitive braking for speed control, pending the publication of the corresponding European specification or CEN standard, the use of the brake and the maximum braking force allowed under the latter conditions of use shall be determined by the Infrastructure Manager for each interoperable line concerned
;
10. in clause 4.3.3.23 ‘Effects of cross winds’, the second paragraph is replaced by the following:
Each Member State shall define for each interoperable line the rules to be applied to both vehicles and infrastructure to guarantee the stability of vehicles subjected to crosswinds
;
11. in clause 4.3.3.26 ‘Passenger platforms’, sub-clause ‘Existing high-speed lines, lines specially upgraded for high-speed and connecting lines’, the third paragraph is replaced by the following:
If the existing situation does not allow easy access for disabled passengers, the railway undertaking shall provide means of assistance for the disabled and the passenger shall be informed thereof. These measures can be:
  - mobile ramps for train access,
  - rising platforms.
;
12. in Annex B, Table B.1, the 10th row l ‘Infrastructure Register (4.2.3.2.6)’ is deleted;
13. Annex D is amended as follows:
  1. Section D.2.1 ‘Detailed design of the entire civil engineering and superstructure works’ is amended as follows:
    1. the second paragraph is replaced by the following:
As a first step, in order to allow the verifications by the designated notified body to proceed smoothly, the adjudicating entity, or the Infrastructure Manager, prepares and sends the latter, for the project concerned, a verification book which summarises the project definition information for the planned subsystem which shall be part of the technical file of the subsystem, as it emerges at this stage of definition, from the design having served as the basis for the Member State’s decision to proceed. This verification book describes in a separate chapter the elements to be inserted in the Infrastructure Register, of the line concerned.
;
    2. in sub-clause ‘Infrastructure gauge, distance between track centres, lateral space, access and intrusions’, first indent, the first and second sub-indents are replaced by the following:
      - the structure gauge, for each of tracks concerned, as it results from the choice made in response from the calculations to apply the relevant European specifications, or, pending their publication, UIC leaflets 505-4 and 506 as set out in Section 4.3.3 for the “structure gauge” element (4.3.3.1), which calculations shall be appended to the drawings,
      - the pantograph clearance gauge, as it results from the choices made in response to calculations to apply UIC leaflets 606-1, 505-1 and 505-4 as set out in Section 4.3.3 for the “structure gauge” element (4.3.3.1), which calculations shall be appended,
;
  2. in Section D.2.6 ‘Project commissioning phase’, the fourth sub-clause (‘Infrastructure registers’) is deleted;
14. Annex E is replaced by the following:
