c. Implementation of capacity-enhancement plansMeasure Status Ready for operationCongestion statement 2011/01, Groningen – Leer route sectionBottleneck: The requested through train connection between Groningen and Leer is physically not possible onthis single-track route section in combination with the other train series.The capacity-enhancement plan concludes that the costs of the measures required to facilitate the extra throughtrain connection do not weigh up against the social benefits. No measures from the capacity-enhancement planwill thus be carried out.No measures follow from the capacityenhancementplan.- -Congestion statement 2011/02, Watergraafsmeer railway yardBottleneck: The requested stabling capacity exceeds the available stabling capacity.The capacity-enhancement plan proposes the measures below.NSR and NS Hispeed can make use ofthe facilities provided by the NS Poortarea of Amsterdam Zaanstraat.NedTrain uses the tracks on the westside of the OB since 2011 to realise 24wagon units of service and stablingcapacity for NS Hispeed rolling stock.<strong>ProRail</strong> started a “Laying of new tracksbetween track 330 and track F11 + extraservice capacity” project. Purpose of theproject is to realise 25 wagon units instabling capacity and 38 wagon units inservice capacity<strong>ProRail</strong> is studying the possibility of bythe end of 2015 delivering an additional31 wagon units in stabling and servicecapacity by realising an alternativelocation for the Infratrack function andusing the released space for extendingthe stabling and service capacity. Theactivities of <strong>ProRail</strong> AM atWatergraafsmeer will be inventoried andan alternative location will be realisedwhere necessary.The improvement plan states that thefixed transportable will as of 2013 beaccommodated at the Rotterdam NoordGoederen locationImplementation of this measure to lower -the stabling requirement atWatergraafsmeer is in the hands of NSRand NS Hispeed.Realised December 2011Started; design is ready forimplementation in 2013A study into the activities of railwaycontractors has been completed. Theminimum need for contractors to beaccommodated at Watergraafsmeer is300m of stabling line (preferably dividedover 2 tracks) including railway vehicleplacement points. The remaining spacecan be used for the stabling ofpassenger stock. A study has beenstarted into the electrification of thereleased tracks. An implementationdecision is yet to be taken on thismeasure.The transport operator in question usesthe stabling capacities on theinfrastructural tracks inWatergraafsmeer. <strong>ProRail</strong> and thetransport operator in question have notunable to reach agreement on therelocation of the fixed transport toRotterdam Noord Goederen.
