Does anybody know please, roughly how much notice TOCs generally get of planned possessions etc.? The notice they have for planning alternative diagrams / transport, staffing, warning passengers etc.
Thank you
Thank you
Forgot to mention about the EAS covering two (annual) timetables.The engineering access statement (EAS) gives over two years notice of NR’s plans for disruptive possessions.
Thank you for the info.In practice however engineering access can (and is) agreed at much less notice than this. It's common during major projects when unforeseen problems or delays occur which require 'catching up' asap to avoid massive knock on effects through successive weeks or months of preagreed access.
If something arrises and NR need a possession to fix it, then they cantake a posession with no notice. That's the extreme situation.Thank you for the info.
Is there any form of recommended or prescribed minimum for this situation, do you know?
and then there are the times the possession is late being taken, or cancelled, because the TOC has made no changes to its timetable !
For this to happen though, so many people need to havemissed it.
