Common use of Notification time periods Clause in Contracts

Notification time periods. Rail Net Denmark announces track possessions to the RU. The following notification time periods apply for the planning of track possessions excluding interval track possessions and track possessions with no impact on traffic. Interval possessions and possessions without traffic impact require no warning to the RU. For further definitions of the types of track possessions see section “Definitions”. Rail Net Denmark is not obliged to announce infrastructure work to remedy defects. Defects in this context are defined as situations where incidents originated from technical breakdown, accidents or vandalism as well as weather or natural conditions cause (or may cause) operational disruptions and/or safety incidents. As a result of standard specific inspections, ØSB may need to implement track possessions for infrastructure work, to be performed within 12 weeks after the inspection. These track possessions are exempted from the N-4 months’ notice, even if the track possession’s duration prescribes this notice. The notification time periods are described in the table below: Notification X-12 months. * Notification N-4 months. ** Media Network Statement LA Letter Possessions with duration >= 56 consecutive hours, and possessions with no impact on traffic For all possessions the following is specified: 1. TIB number 2. Delimitation at outer stations and buffer stations ***) For all possessions the following is specified: 1. Exact geographical location 2. Exact date for start and finish 3. Exact time of start and 3. Approximate duration (number of days) 4. Is the possession during a holiday period, see holiday and vacation list ****) 5. Start early/mid/end if during the summer holiday 6. Overall possession pattern (blocked single/multiple tracks/total possession) finish 4. Final traffic impact (driving pattern) in connection with the track possessions Possessions with duration <= 56 consecutive hours, and possessions with no impact on traffic No information specified For all possessions the following is specified: 1. Exact geographical location 2. Exact date for start and finish 3. Exact time of start and finish 4. Final traffic impact (driving pattern) in connection with the track possessions Interval possessions and possessions without impact on the traffic No information specified No information specified All dates are counted from the first day of the week in which the possession takes effect. A week starts on Monday at 00.01 a.m. *) X denotes the date of the beginning of the timetable (Sunday after the second Saturday in December) **) N denotes the date of the first day of the week in which the possession enters into force (Monday 00.01 a.m. continuously) ***) Basically, a project that requires track possession(s) is specified as located between 2 defined stations, possibly incl. one or both stations or parts of the stations. To meet the project's potential need for supplementary work within the project, which is located outside the station boundary, a buffer is added to the work on an extra station at both ends. The buffer station limits of the project are determined from time to time. ****) The holiday and vacation list is defined in co-operation between Rail Net Denmark and the RUs. Warnings or changes to submitted warnings, if any, issued later than the indicated deadlines stated in the table above will affect the determination of Rail Net Denmark’s track possession process, to the extent that such measuring is agreed according to 7.3. Rail Net Denmark will at a directors’ board meeting with the RU, or in another way, inform about the status of the portfolio of major infrastructure projects covered by the X - 12 months’ notice. It is the responsibility of Rail Net Denmark to ensure that the track possessions prompted by a third party (such as municipalities and the Road Directorate) are notified as set out in the table above. When a track possession is announced to the RU, as set out in the table above, the RU does not have access to the tracks included in the scheduled work for the duration of the work, even though the RU has been awarded the train paths associated with the train path assignment for the concerned timetable period. ØSB will generally be accommodating towards potential requests from the RU that leads to implementation of infrastructure works within the current timetable. The planning will be made in close co-operation between the RU and ØSB, taking into consideration the impact on traffic flow. Rail Net Denmark is obliged to notify such infrastructural works requested by the RU to other railway companies affected by such work. The notification is made according to the time frames set out in the table above or by agreement between the RU and Rail Net Denmark. A separate agreement is made for each individual infrastructural work. Availability principle In order to optimize planning and use of track possessions, the notified track possessions at X-12 months are available up until N-4 months. Hence, ØSB can exchange a notified track possession with an alternative track possession. This is only possible under the following circumstances:  The calculated service towards the end client (passenger or freight company), in terms of number of channels (infrastructure capacity) is not reduced at the end of the X-12 month period,  The RU’s total financial implications of the track possessions are not increased at the end of the X-12 month period. Expenses concerning planning are not included in the total financial amount. When the availability principle is used, the RU is obliged to present a business case comparing the originally forecasted track possession with the requested change. The availability principle is not a general planning tool, but can be used in cases where re- prioritization of projects is necessary.
