ANNEX U.K.

Appendix D Route compatibility and Route Book

D1 Parameters for the vehicle and train compatibility over the route intended for operation U.K.

Note: U.K.

1. Following the requirements of 4.2.2.5.1, the railway undertaking may cover route compatibility checks of certain parameters during earlier stages. U.K.

2. All parameters must be checked at vehicle level: this is indicated by a ‘X’ in the column ‘Vehicle level’. Some parameters needs to be checked when the train composition changes, as defined in the section 4.2.2.5; those parameters are indicated with a ‘X’ under the column ‘Train level’. U.K.

3. With a view to avoid duplication of testing, in relation to parameters ‘Traffic loads and load carrying capacity of infrastructure’ and ‘Train detection systems’, the infrastructure managers shall provide through RINF the list of vehicle types or vehicles compatible with the route for which they have already verified route compatibility, where such information is available.
