- Short stabling takes precedence over longer stabling, whereby in case of conflicts betweenpassenger trains, stabling shorter than 12 hours takes precedence over stabling longer than12 hours. If both applications are for stabling shorter than 12 hours, the first prioritisation willbe based on Section 8 of the Railway Capacity Allocation Decree, followed by the applicationof economic considerations if necessary.- Accommodate the highest possible utilisation (traffic/transport/stabling) within the applicableenvironmental capacity restrictions (noise/risk).- Full utilization of the noise capacity has priority over full utilization of the risk capacity forexternal safety.Capacity for workIn case of scheduled work on or near the network, which require (a combination of) incidentalpossessions, the following supplementary conditions apply:1 In so far as the work is reasonably foreseeable and plannable on the closing date for annualtimetable applications, the capacity for performance of the work is scheduled and allocated duringthe annual timetable allocation process. If work is not reasonably foreseeable and plannable,agreement on the day type and performance variant may be reached during the annual timetablephase. These are entered in RADAR and serve as basis for the ad hoc phase.2 The coordination of the capacity allocation for the annual timetable is preceded by an inventory ofyet to be agreed possessions on the Combined <strong>Network</strong>, the Betuwe Route and the border routesections of neighbouring railway networks, for which it is expected that the relevant detour routeswill offer insufficient rest capacity to cope with the affected trains. For those possessions of whichit is expected after consultation that they cannot be accommodated within the total capacity of thedetour routes, <strong>ProRail</strong> provides titleholders the possibility to designate trains for processingaccording to the timetable process rules in the VAB process (traffic changes for managementpurposes), and thus with priority over other ad hoc applications. See also Chapter 4.4.1.4.3 The maintenance roster remains applicable during and at the location of the incidentalpossessions, as well as the related detour routes, unless explicitly stated otherwise. <strong>ProRail</strong> will, ifpossible, contribute towards resolving the competition by making changes to the maintenanceroster.Compensation in case of possessions<strong>ProRail</strong> can within the context of the annual timetable allocation process for work on the infrastructureagree on a financial compensation to titleholders other than in the form of user charges. Under thecondition that the alternative transport plan is workable and socially capable, this compensationagreement is chosen together with the preferred possession variant drawn up by <strong>ProRail</strong>, subject tothe conditions below.1 Newbuild worksa. In case of scheduled newbuild works, the out-of-pocket costs of replacement transport arecompensated on the basis of quotes agreed between the transport operator and <strong>ProRail</strong>.b. In case of scheduled newbuild works, no compensation is paid for detoured passenger andfreight trains. <strong>ProRail</strong> shall endeavour to avoid incidental possessions on the detour route asdefined in the Corridor Book.2 Modernisation worksa. Passenger transport operators can, in case of scheduled modernisation works (large-scalemaintenance and renewal) qualify for compensation, in the instances and to the degreedescribed below.i. No compensation is provided in case of possessions during weekends, night-time,offpeak hours, low traffic periods (i.e. school holidays and official public holidays) orwhen the through train traffic is not affected.ii. Compensation is provided if and in so far as a possession (partly) falls during normalworking days (not low passenger traffic periods) and if the morning and/or evening peaktimes are affected. Compensation then applies to the cancelled train kilometres of thetrains during those working days.iii. The total of the financial compensation is calculated on the basis of an amount percancelled train kilometre as a result of the possession, compared with the situationallocated in the annual timetable.iv. The compensation tariff for passenger transport depends on the category to which theaffected route section is allocated according to appendix 28 and amounts to:<strong>Network</strong> <strong>Statement</strong> <strong>2014</strong> Combined <strong>Network</strong> - version 1.0 dated 9 January 2013 page 51
