fixed timetable are laid down in the 2014 Timetable determined by the Minister 41 and subsequentlypublished on the website of ProRail (www.spoorbruggen.nl).3.5 Availability of the infrastructureThis chapter describes the quality of the infrastructure in terms of reliability, availability, maintainability,safety, health and the environment (‘RAMSHE’), as it applies to the entire infrastructure managed byProRail. See Chapter 4.5 for the procedures applicable to capacity allocation for scheduled work on ornear the network.Reliability and availabilityAvailability concerns the level of availability of the track for train services. Availability is reduced byscheduled (i.e. maintenance work) and unscheduled (i.e. due to disruptions) possessions. Thescheduled possessions are required for the proper performance of maintenance, repair andmanagement work (including the necessary testing of infrastructure systems and safety organisationdrills) as well as the construction or modification work on or near the network. For this reason, railsections often have to be closed to traffic.MaintainabilityProRail will to the best of its ability make use of opportunities to perform work on the infrastructurewithout causing hindrance to the users / train traffic, giving due consideration to cost and safetyconditions. ProRail will take this aspect into account in case of all changes to infrastructure.SafetyFurthermore, ProRail applies strict control procedures with regard to the safety of train traffic duringoperating procedures by traffic control and other management tasks, in order that ProRail can providerailway undertakings with a safe, usable and accessible workplace for the performance of their railtraffic activities.ProRail strives, where necessary in consultation with railway undertakings, to eliminate avoidable risksin the use of the railway infrastructure (including the use of level crossings).ProRail monitors the safety of level crossings, both in terms of the running of rail traffic in general andof intersecting traffic in particular, in order to prevent a safety hazard.ProRail, in consultation with the (road) manager involved, seeks infrastructural solutions for therunning of intersecting traffic.Any increasing risks in rail traffic must be compensated by mitigating infrastructural measures,combined where necessary with temporary or permanent user conditions for rail traffic. To enableProRail to take adequate measures, it is necessary that the railway undertakings provide ProRail withtimely information on:• Pattern-based expansion of frequencies in passenger transport (also in off-peak hours).• Structural changes to the time period of a passenger train (series).• Taking into use of new stops.• Structural changes to stops (short stop instead of arrival / departure or vice versa).• Structural new or rerouted freight trains.To the extent that railway undertakings are also required to contribute to safety without such being laiddown in statutory provisions, ProRail will include stipulations in the Access Agreement on thecontribution to be made by railway undertakings towards realising the envisaged safety level.Also with a view to improving the safety level, ProRail closely analyses all safety incident reports andtheir handling.The safety ambitions of ProRail are in line with the ‘Safety in Rail Traffic’ framework memorandum.ProRail controls the specific environmental risks attached to the transport of dangerous goods bymaintaining an operational organisation that can respond effectively to incidents involving dangerousgoods. In as far as ProRail is obliged by public authorities to take measures to control the risks41Section 25 Railways Capacity Allocation DecreeNetwork Statement 2014 Combined Network - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 34
attached to the transport or handling of shipments of dangerous goods (e.g. volume control), ProRailwill perform such measures, if necessary also via the Access Agreements with railway undertakings.ProRail organises, as part of its duty to keep infrastructure available and to control traffic, drills to keepthe preparedness for dealing with incidents at a high level Insofar as such drills impose a burden onthe capacity of the railways, the required capacity will be requested through the regular capacityallocation procedures.In consultation with the public authorities and the railway undertakings, ProRail will contribute towardsactions aimed at controlling and improving the social safety at stations. The contribution of ProRailentails:• Security services: on the basis of safety agreements (covenants concluded with local authorities),ProRail contributes to promotion of social safety at and around stations.• Opening / closing of stations: the opening and closing of waiting rooms and (parts of) stations inperiods that those stations are not used for train services, with the purpose of preventingvandalism.• Camera-supported supervision: with the purpose of raising the sense of safety of travellers andstaff working at the station, as well as having a preventive effect on target groups (vandals,loiterers, junkies, homeless persons), reducing the damage caused by vandalism and increasingthe chance of apprehending offenders.• Technical modifications: necessary modifications as a result of changed circumstances at stations(relocation of cameras, adjustment of lighting, etc.), as well as analyses / surveys / audits gearedto social safety.HealthUnder the terms of the applicable Health & Safety at Work (ARBO) legislation, ProRail provides ahealthy working environment both for its own employees and for the personnel of railway undertakingsand their auxiliary staff working on the railway infrastructure.The environmentProRail will organise the operational processes in such a manner that hindrance and contaminationare controlled and reduced, in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions. To the extent that therelevant environmental protection legislation does not pertain directly to the railway undertakings thatuse the network managed by ProRail, ProRail will by means of the Access Agreement stipulate thatthe railway undertakings make an adequate contribution towards ensuring the envisaged level ofenvironmental protection.3.6 Passenger terminals (stations)The stations for passenger transport are defined in terms of:1. Passenger platforms2. Transfer area and accompanying facilities3. Bicycle shedsFor the use of passenger platforms and a transfer area with accompanying facilities, see the service inChapter 5.3.1.Also, an overview is provided of the relevant detailed information available on request.3.6.1 Passenger platformsA summary of passenger platform characteristics follows below.• The platform has a nominal height of 1700 mm, a minimum height of 1650 mm and a maximumheight of 1735 mm measured from the centre of the rail.• Platform height: between 0.76m and 1.00m +Top of Rail.• The gradient of platforms will not exceed 1:1000.• The horizontal radius of curvature at platforms is not smaller than R=15,000m.• No vertical curvature is permitted at platforms.• Higher passing speeds than 160 km per hour are not permitted along passenger platforms.Network Statement 2014 Combined Network - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 35
