To do this theyshall request the corresponding Capacityfrom ADIF, following the establishedprocedure. As soon as this is awarded,they shall also be in possession of theSafety Certificate, which is necessary tobe able to run with their rolling stockand train operation staff on the routerequested.The RENFE Operadora publiccompany was created by the LSF of3 rd December 2004, acting as a selfmanagingbody within the limits setdown by its regulations and attachedto the Ministry of Public Works. TheRENFE Operadora Statute is establishedin RD 2396/2004 of 30 th December.The purpose of its activity is to supplypassenger and freight railway servicesand other services related to railtransport throughout the scope of theREFIG. It also performs maintenance ofits own railway rolling stock.To date, the Ministry of Public Workshad granted eight RU Licences andhad entered one Licence issuedby another member state of the EUon the Special Railway Register.These are, by order of granting:RENFE Operadora, Comsa Rail TransportS.A. (Comsa Group), ContinentalRail S.A. (ACS Group), Acciona RailServices S.A. (Acciona Group),Activa Rail S.A. (TRANSFESA Group),Tracción Rail S.A. (AZVI Group), EuskoTrenbideak – Ferrocarriles Vascos S.A.,ArcelorMittal Siderail S.A. (ArcelorMittalGroup) and had entered English Scottish& Welsh International Ltd (EWSI) onthe Special Railway Register. Threefurther RU Licences are currently in theapplication process.AUTHORISED CANDIDATESAuthorisation Qualifications have beengranted to the following Candidatesto request Capacity Allocation:TRANSFESA, Logística y TransporteFerroviario S.A.

OBJECTIVES OF THE NETWORKSTATEMENT (NS)The NS is the document ADIF offers to RUsand other Candidates to inform them aboutthe characteristics of the infrastructure and theconditions of access to the network.This document outlines the characteristics of theinfrastructure made available to the RUs andother Candidates, and provides informationabout the Capacity of each Network sectionand their access conditions. It also outlinesgeneral rules, time periods, procedures andgoverning principles with respect to theCapacity Allocation of and pricing principles

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATEthat shall apply for the use of railwayinfrastructure and for the supply of differentservices to the RUs (Art. 29 of the LSF).Law 39/2003 of 17 th November, regardingthe Railway Industry transposes EuropeanDirective 2001/14/EC of 26 th February2001 of the Parliament and the Council intointernal law. Nevertheless, certain mattersrelating to the contents of this NS and tothe railway Capacity Allocation procedureare developed through ORDENFOM/897/2005 (Ministry of Public Works)of 7 th April.1.2.1. ADIF MANAGED NETWORKThis is composed of railway infrastructureowned by ADIF, and any other they areresponsible for managing in the terms coveredin the LSF.By virtue of that laid down in the fourthadditional provision of RD 2395/2004 of30 th December, which approves the Statuteof the ADIF Public Company; all managementof the network that, in accordance with theLSF, is owned by the State and that, at thetime of entering force, was managed by theSpanish National Railway Company (RENFE)is entrusted to ADIF.The Ministries of Economy and Financeand of Public Works, pursuant to the pointscovered in article 22.2 of the LSF may makeADIF responsible for the management ofrailway infrastructure owned by the State,laying down the basic principles that shouldpredominate in this responsibility, indicatingobjectives and aims that shall be achieved,determining levels of investment and theamount of finance by the State, for thepurposes of its inclusion in the correspondingNational Budget.The 2007 – 2010 Framework Agreementestablishes the obligations and reciprocalagreements between the General StateAdministration and ADIF, regulatinginvestments in the state owned networkentrusted to ADIF by the Ministry of PublicWorks. This will ensure the coherenceand continuity of management of thenetwork owned by the State, will coverthe results of the latter and will commit thecorresponding financial support. It may alsoconfer on ADIF, in accordance with article24.2 of the LSF regarding state ownedpublic assets or those whose managementhas been conferred on the State, theexercise of powers relating to management,defence, police, research, defining propertyboundaries and repossession granted tothe General State Administration by Law33/2003 of 3 rd November, regarding theAssets of Public Administrations and thepower to establish a system of use for theabove and of granting licences, leases andother rights that allow their possible use bythird parties.This Framework Agreement will alsodetermine the amount of investment in theState owned Network, in 6.2.1.2, where amulti-year schedule is laid out for the totalinvestment for the term of the Agreement, aswell as the revenue ADIF is entitled to receivefor the management agreed. To make theinvestment in the ADIF Managed Network in2008, Commissioning Task no. 3 is currentlyoperative.25GENERAL INFORMATION01

26These investments refer to:• Freight measures. Terminals and network.• Commuter train measures. Stations andnetwork.• Improved safety and functionality of the railnetwork.• Removing telephone blocks.• Level crossing safety• Measures to replace and modernise assets.• Renewal plan.Notwithstanding the above, ADIF may makeagreements with the Autonomous Regions toconstruct and manage railway networks orsections in the latter. A collaboration Agreementis currently in force between the Ministry ofPublic Works, the Basque Country AutonomousRegion and ADIF to commission certain work forthe construction of the new railway network inthe Basque Country, publicised in the Resolutionof 8 th June 2006, by the General Secretariatfor Infrastructure and Planning.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONBETWEEN INFRASTRUCTUREMANAGERSIn January 2004, a number of European RailInfrastructure Managers established a commonorganisation to shape the business of Europeanrail infrastructure.With a Joint Office in charge of co-ordinationbased in Vienna, RailNetEurope representsits members as an Association dedicated toFacilitating International Traffic on the EuropeanRail Infrastructure.RailNetEurope is the next step from bi- andmultilateral co-operation between European railinfrastructure companies towards one commonorganisation with a European focus. Together,the members of RailNetEurope are harmonisingconditions and introducing corporate approachesto promote the European rail business from therail infrastructure point of view and for the benefitof the entire rail industry.of RailNetEurope. Furthermore there areover 300 other railway undertakings thatonly deal with national traffic.Also, for the first time Authorized Applicants– e.g. ports who want to ensure sufficient railcapacity – have taken the opportunity to getin touch directly (for capacity and train pathsrequests) with rail infrastructure managers.Operational BusinessThe main objective of RailNetEurope is toimprove operational issues in the field ofinternational rail traffic.To achieve this, RailNetEurope focuses on theentire rail infrastructure production process. Itstarts by harmonising the members’ mediumand long-term planning, common marketing &sales approaches, and operations, and endswith RailNetEurope after-sales services, such asmonitoring and reporting.Open to the European MarketRailNetEurope has been joined by 31 RailInfrastructure Managers, who are either full orassociated members, or candidate members.All in all RailNetEurope partners constitute anetwork of around 230,000 km of railwayinfrastructure. A ferry line has also joinedthe association and contributes to loweringbarriers in international rail traffic.The Infrastructure Managers involvedin RailNetEurope today take care of120 customers dealing with international railbusiness in Europe, the main target group1.9.1. RNE ONE STOP SHOP (OSS)CONTACTSThe European Infrastructure Managers (IM)have signed an agreement on common salesand marketing organisation for internationalinfrastructure Capacity called RailNetEurope(RNE).These Infrastructure Managers have set up OneStop Shops (OSS) working as a network ofcustomer contact points within the frameworkof RNE. For international path requests, thecustomer needs only to contact one of theseOSS, which will initiate the whole internationalpath allocation process.

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATEThe contacted OSS will in close cooperationwith the concerned IM:• Offer the customer support and informationon the full product and service range of theInfrastructure Managers.• Supply all the information required to gainaccess to the infrastructure of any InfrastructureManager participating in RNE.• Handle requests for any international trainpath within RNE.• Make sure that requests for the next timetableperiod are duly taken into account in theyearly timetabling process.Each OSS is part of the international networkwhich aims at making network access forcustomers as simple as possible. The OSS alsoprovides information on infrastructure charges andtrain movements including quality monitoring.In line with its motto “one face to thecustomer”, the OSS provides competentand efficient assistance across all borders,based on transparent, confidential and nondiscriminatoryprocedures.A list of OSS contacts is available atwww.railneteurope.com.33• Provide train path offers for the wholeinternational journey.GENERAL INFORMATION01

03Description of The Network

523.1. INTRODUCTIONThis chapter describes the main characteristicsof the ADIF Managed Network that is availablefor Capacity requests.• UIC Gauge (1,435 mm), mainly establishedon High Speed lines.• Metric gauge (1,000 mm), currently confinedto the Cercedilla-Los Cotos 116 line.3.2. SCOPE OF THE ADIF MANAGEDNETWORKThe ADIF Managed Network basicallyconsists of lines that, until the LSF took effect,were managed by the public companySpanish National Railways (RENFE) and theInfrastructure Management Authority (GIF),both for operations and construction.In accordance with that set forth in the ninthadditional provision of the LSF, railway lineseffectively closed to traffic as a consequenceof the agreement of the Council of Ministersof 30 th September 1984, form an integralpart of the REFIG. Ownership of these linescorresponds to the State and their managementis the responsibility of ADIF. The economicfinancialsystem foreseen in articles 22.2of the LSF and 4.1 of the ADIF Statute areapplicable for such lines. The aforementionedeconomic-financial system is compatible withcollaboration agreements entered into withother Public Administrations, with full respectfor the authority of each party intervening.The ADIF Managed Network is made upof lines of mostly mixed traffic (Freight andPassengers). It is formed by lines with threedifferent track gauges:• Conventional gauge (1,668 mm), whichmainly covers the conventional network.Some sections even have dual gauges(conventional and UIC gauge), the latterconsisting of three rail line sections.The main lines on the ADIF Managed Networkhave double tracks. They have more than twotracks on approaches to large cities.The maps included in Annex G includeinformation relating to the identification andlocation of the main stations and railwayjunctions on the ADIF Managed Network,as well as distances in kilometres betweenthe main stations and railway junctions, withdetails of the different track types (singletrack and double track and electrified or nonelectrifiedtrack).The contents of the Annexes are merely forinformation purposes. In the event of anydiscrepancy between the contents of theseAnnexes and the regulatory documents, thedocuments in the latter will take priority overthose in the Annexes.A complementary NS document is availableto Candidates, known as the CapacitiesManual (CM), which is kept at the CapacityManagement Office of the Traffic ExecutiveOffice. This document contains all informationabout the current occupation of infrastructure,its capacity and its level of saturation.

The main conventionallines generally admit speeds of between160 and 200 km/h.Map 6 in Annex G includes a summary map ofthe maximum speeds for each route.• Direct CurrentA rated voltage of 3,000 V is generally usedon the conventional network and 1,500 V,as an exception, on the metric gauge.• Alternating CurrentThe catenary supplies voltage of 25,000 Vat 50 Hz, its use normally being confined toHigh Speed lines.Electricity power is limited to the availabilityof power supplied by the substation network.Map 7 is included in Annex G, with electrifiedsections of the ADIF Managed Network,as well as the type of current available on these.INFRASTRUCTURE03

583.3.3. SAFETY, TRAFFIC CONTROLAND COMMUNICATIONSSYSTEMS3.3.3.1. SIGNALLING SYSTEMS:BLOCK SYSTEMSThe ADIF Managed Network is generallyequipped with signalling and block systemsusing diverse technology, the tendency beingto use electronic interlockings with centralisedremote control at Control Centres (CC).The most frequent block systems are listedbelow:• Automatic Control Block System (BCA)In this block system, the safety distance ismaintained by indicating a speed limit, atarget distance and a target speed in thedriver’s cab, there being various systemson the ADIF Managed Network. Later on,in the section corresponding to safetysystems, the different systems availableon the ADIF Managed Network will beoutlined.• Wayside Block System (BSL)In this block system, the safety distancebetween trains is ensured by trains respectingthe signals.• Automatic Release Block System (BLA)This block system generally has one blocksection between stations, which is protectedby signals in a similar way to the AutomaticBlock system.Depending on the signalling and tracksideconditions, there are several distinct types ofAutomatic Release Block System, similar tothe Automatic Block system.• Automatic Block System (BA)This block system generally has intermediateblock sections between stations, which areautomatically protected by signals.Depending on the signalling and tracksideconditions, there are several distinct types ofAutomatic Block System;• Single Track Automatic Block System(BAU)• Double Track Automatic Block System(BAD)Only automatic signal sequences existin this category for each track and intheir normal running directions.• Wrong Way Automatic Block System(BAB)In this type, traffic on double or multipletracks may run on either track and ineither direction.• Radio Traffic Control (CCR)This block system, used on lines with littletraffic, is ensured by means of the RTCManager being permanently informed aboutthe situation of trains in the sections, aboutauthorisation given to drivers and train arrivalnotices.

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATE• Manual Electric Block System (BEM)59The track is blocked by Operating Managersthrough electric devices.• Telephone Block System (BT)Sections are blocked by telephone messagessent between Operating Managers.Map 10 in Annex G includes a summary ofblock systems existing on each line.3.3.3.2. SAFETY SYSTEMSCAB SIGNALLING SYSTEMSThese systems provide an indicationof the maximum permitted speed inthe cabs of suitably equipped trains,being an alternative to conventionalsignalling and by which trains may rununder the protection of cab signallingsystems and others with conventionalblock systems.The ADIF Managed Network has thefollowing cab speed indicating systems:• LZBControl and Signalling system thatcontinuously supervises train speed,and which controls train operations bymeans of cab indications.• ERTMSControl and Signalling system that willallow interoperability on the wholeINFRASTRUCTURE03

60European Rail Network, and whichcombines ETCS and GSMR systems.Trains running on certain lines mayrequire the motor vehicles to beequipped with any of these systems,this being indicated in the CapacitiesManual.Map 11 in Annex G includes linesequipped with these systems, as wellas routes with radio telephones.OTHER SAFETY SYSTEMS• Automatic brake and signalwarning (ASFA)This safety system gives cab indicationsof signals using balises.ASFA is installed on most main lines inthe ADIF Managed Network, rollingstock running on the network possiblybeing obliged to be equipped with itand to have it in operation. It is alsomandatory for trains operating withone single staff member.• ATP EBICABThis safety system is based on specificinformation supplied by several balisesinstalled on the line for constant speedsupervision.Train operations on certain linesmay demand that motor vehicles beequipped with one of these systems,something which will be indicated inthe CM.3.3.3.3. COMMUNICATION SYSTEMSCommunications with trains generally takesplace at present through a Track toTrain analogradio telephone system which allows individualcommunications between trains and the ControlCentre, and which is installed on most of themain lines on the Network. A gradual migrationtowards the GSMR system is foreseen on thewhole network.The radio telephone system is mandatory forfreight trains operating with one single staffmember.Trains running on certain lines may request thatmotor vehicles are equipped with one of thesesystems, something which will be indicated inthe Capacities Manual (CM).3.3.3.4. AUTOMATIC TRAINCONTROL SYSTEMSSee Point 3.3.3.2 of this section.3.4. TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS3.4.1.

It also includesthe most important passenger terminals onthe ADIF Managed Network, classified byRegional Divisions, in Map 2, Annex G.Furthermore, and related to the effort to adaptrailway transport infrastructure to bring the servicecloser to the public, the “Railway services guidefor disabled passengers” has been published(edition updated in January 2008), whichincludes accessible Stations and trains thatprovide services to the disabled and outlines theservices offered to passengers with special needsrelated to transport and the procedure to follow toreceive assistance in travelling. This guide may beobtained by consulting the following addresses:www.adif.es y www.renfe.comWith respect to the environmental commitmentmade by ADIF, mention should be made ofthe AENOR Environmental Management Flaggranted in 2008 to ADIF Passenger Terminals,which is recognition of the organisationscommitment to the Environment, materializing inthe obtainment of 14 th ISO 14000 Certificatesin Passenger Terminals.3.7. FREIGHT TERMINALSADIF Freight Terminals are facilities at whichat least one of the following operations arepossible:• Modal exchange of freight.• Train arrangement and train and wagonstabling.• Access to other private and public facilitieswhere freight is loaded or unloaded (ports,sidings, etc.).All Terminals are basically made up of thefollowing areas:• Reception / despatch of trains.• Goods yard equipped with tracks.• Siding space.• Supplementary service areas.• Logistics areas.Terminals devoted to handling containers andswap bodies exist. Others are mainly designedfor loading and unloading and for the formationof conventional freight carrying trains.The ADIF Managed Network also has a seriesof marshalling stations and train formationcomplexes.Additional, Supplementary and AncillaryServices will be supplied at Stations, Facilitiesand Freight Terminals that are included in theNS, and at other ADIF facilities, and which theinterested party may find about by consultingthe ADIF Freight Terminals Executive Office.With respect to Freight Terminals, two typeshave been established according to thebasic features of this type of installation,these features are: railway equipment, meansof handling, staff teams and the typologyof areas. The types of Terminals establishedwill be generically known as Group 1 andGroup 2 and are listed in the chart below.

04Capacity Allocation

764.1. INTRODUCTIONThe Allocation of Railway Infrastructure Capacityis the process by which ADIF grants train slotsto RUs or any of the other Candidates so that atrain may run between two points for a certainperiod of time. This allocation of Capacityinvolves the right of access to infrastructureallocated and to the corresponding junctionsand crossovers on the ADIF Managed Network,as well as receiving the train operating controlservice, including signalling.The Capacity Allocation is an essential step in themechanisms established for Candidate access toinfrastructure.ORDEN FOM/897/2005 of 7 th April regardingthe NS and the Infrastructure Capacity allocationprocess has determined that the NS shall givedetails of:• Procedures and periods for allocatingCapacity.• Principles governing the coordinationprocedure.• Procedures and principles used in the eventof infrastructure congestion.• Existing infrastructure restrictions.4.2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PATHREQUEST PROCESS• RUs with current licences, or duly authorisedInternational Business Groups.• Other Legal Entities, such as transport agents,carriers and combined transport operatorswho, without being considered as RUs, areinterested in operating a rail service andhave the corresponding authorisation.• Public Administrations with authority toprovide transport services.SUPPLEMENTARY CAPACITY REQUESTDOCUMENTSAny Candidate may request Capacity inthe terms stated in the Special Rail Register.Capacity requests shall for this purpose beaccompanied by the following information anddocuments:IDENTIFICATION OF THE CANDIDATEAND THEIR REPRESENTATIVEThe Candidate who makes the applicationwill state the duly accredited personsrepresenting them to that effect, as well asthe business address to which ADIF willsend suitable notifications, and they willsubmit a document proving their inclusionon the Special Railway Register.SAFETY CERTIFICATECAPACITY REQUEST CONDITIONSArticles 31 of the LSF and 47.4 of the RSFstate that three types of Candidates may makeCapacity applications to ADIF:When it involves an RU, a certified copyof the corresponding Safety Certificatethey hold (Art. 47 of LSF and Art. 105del RSF) will be submitted.In cases of requests to develop a TrainService Timetable, a document will

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATEbe accepted outlining the commitmentto submit a certified copy of thecorresponding Safety Certificate, whichshall be submitted by the RU prior to thefinal approval of the Working Timetable,one month before it commences, at theADIF Traffic Executive Office.77GUARANTEES IN THE TRANSPORT OFDANGEROUS GOODSWhen the Capacity request submittedby the Candidate is for the transport ofdangerous goods, the Candidate will statethe guarantees offered, pursuant to currentlegislation, in order to ensure the safety ofthird parties and the actual infrastructure.SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED INTHE CAPACITY REQUESTThe information in the request will be statedas laid out in the form example that figuresin Annex C.ADIF will make computer means availableto candidates for use (such as SIPSOR orPATHFINDER). Failing this it will acceptwritten requests, duly justified on receipt,for the request and allocation of Capacity.ADIF will in addition propose agreementsto RUs and other authorised Candidates tospeed up Capacity request procedures,provided the stated requirements are met.CAPACITY ALLOCATION04

784.2.1. TYPES OF TRAIN PATHREQUESTSBeyond the process of Allocating Capacityamongst the various Candidates, train pathscheduling is an essential activity in trafficmanagement, both for Candidates andfor ADIF, of the utmost importance whenconsidering the size of the ADIF ManagedNetwork and the usual complexity of railtransport management. Suitable scheduling intime and form largely means ensuring qualityand coordination for developing traffic, andhaving a positive influence on punctuality,commercial speed and track capacity.Due to the way in which transport needs arecreated, different types of train paths havebeen established on the ADIF ManagedNetwork.When Capacity requests are made in suitabletime and form, the candidate may reserve trainpaths, obtaining suitable quality attributes,preference in traffic control and certainpunctuality commitments made by ADIF. Thesetrain paths are:• Regular Train Paths (SERVITREN)These are those train paths requestedfor a significant operating frequencywithin the Working Timetable (around40 th days). These support trainoperations that go to make up theTransport Plan for each Candidate.The series of regular train paths makeup the Working Timetable.• Occasional Train Paths(TRENDÍA)These train paths are scheduled torespond to the specific demands of RUsand other Candidates who, accordingto their limited operating days andthe short notice of the request (up to24 hours before the requested traindeparture at origin), are not includedin the Transport Plan.When it is not possible for the Candidateto reserve Capacity in suitable time,ADIF has two special train classes(no train path reservation).• Special Train Paths withApplications (Immediate TrainPaths)These train paths are allocated atthe specific request of the RU andother Candidates as a result ofunscheduled transport needs and areusually generated with at least oneday’s notice. Trains running in thesetrain paths shall be exceptional andcaused by justified circumstances.• Special Train Paths withoutApplicationsThese train paths are allocated as aresult of incidents or failure to fulfilscheduled transport conditions by RUsor other Candidates, usually at theinitiative of ADIF.

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATE4.2.2. REGULAR TRAIN PATHS(SERVITREN)THE WORKING TIMETABLEThe Working Timetable includes regular Trainpaths in the Transport Plans for RUs and otherCandidates, and determines planned train androlling stock movements that will occur in apre-established period of time that spans fromthe second Sunday in December to the secondSaturday in December of the following year.Train paths are allocated to RUs and otherCandidates solely for use during the WorkingTimetable for which they were requested.To offer RUs and other Candidates suitableflexibility, and to respond to opportunitiesoffered by the market with acceptable train pathquality levels, regardless of the time at whichthey were requested, changes to the WorkingTimetable are foreseen during its duration. Priorto the entry in force of the Working Timetable,ADIF may schedule adjustment dates so thatCandidates can introduce changes to theirTransport Plans. The various Candidates will beconsulted in establishing the schedules.These adjustments may be of two types:• Harmonised.• Monthly.For extraordinary and justified reasons, the seniorauthority at ADIF may give permission for:• Adjustments to dates agreed.• The introduction of different time periodsfrom those established.• The change or cancellation of train paths oncertain lines, without any type of restrictionwhen it involves exceptional causes.No train path variations will be considered withrespect to Candidates, alterations which:• Do not vary the conditions in which trainpaths were requested.• Do not alter the timetable of commercialstops for passenger trains.• Do not vary the commercial timetable bymore than 15 minutes for freight trains,on any point of the route.In these circumstances, the Capacity Manager,CM from now on, may alter train paths at anytime without being obliged to consult Candidatesbeforehand, but it shall communicate anychange when it involves a change to the trainpath code or the commercial timetable on anypoints of its route.HARMONISED ADJUSTMENTSThese are conceived so that Candidatesprepare most of the changes or their TransportPlan during the Working Timetable. In theseadjustments, the CM may make any technicaladjustments to the mesh they consider suitable,Candidates having to assume and ensure theintroduction of any changes communicated inthe established time periods.The CM has full power in these adjustmentsto coordinate the Candidates when thereis interference to a Candidate’s train pathcaused by the commercial requests of anotherCandidate.79CAPACITY ALLOCATION04

80MONTHLY ADJUSTMENTSTheir aim is to facilitate selective adaptation ofthe Transport Plan for each Candidate. Takinginto account that the short scheduling periodsand the restricted framework for changing themesh in these types of adjustments make itdifficult to study big changes to train paths forthis reason, the CM may reject some requestswhen the planning periods envisaged areinsufficient or the requests involve a substantialchange to operations.Changes caused by Candidate requests to thetrain paths of other Candidates shall be agreedbetween themselves as a prerequisite forintroduction, the CM being informed in writingof the agreements made. The CM will howeverexercise the power to coordinate, studyingpossible technical solutions and, possibly,mediating between Candidates.4.2.3. OCCASIONAL TRAIN PATHS(TRENDÍA)These train paths, with very specific operations,have request channels and a type of schedulingthat is similar to those in the Working Timetable(SERVITREN).4.2.4. IMMEDIATE TRAIN PATHSThese train paths, according to the short noticeat which they are requested, cannot havethe same levels of study or commitment asSERVITREN and TRENDIA scheduled trains, thisbeing the reason why they will not have anyreserved Capacity.This is why immediate train paths will berequested by Candidates when it is impossibleto schedule them with sufficient notice, due toexceptional and justified reasons.Requests will generally be made through theSIGES software application, using terminalsallowed for this purpose, except for thoseCandidates who do not have the suitablecomputer connections, in which case they maysend the details of the Capacity request formby any other written means that ensure theirreception and recording, and which will beaddressed to the Traffic Operating Centre orthe Operating Management at the train origin,reception of this request having to be confirmedby telephone.ADIF will reply to the request made through thesame channel, preferably via SIGES. This replymay be negative in certain cases, if the requestis not technically feasible.Trains generated in the immediate trainpath category will run as trains with no predeterminedmode. They will also be exemptfrom the ADIF regularity commitment.4.2.5. PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTINGAND ALLOCATING REGULARAND OCCASIONAL TRAIN PATHSFor greater flexibility and to give a betterservice to Candidates, ADIF offers the chanceof establishing an agreement that simplifiesthe procedure for the Request and Allocationof Capacity. This agreement will specify thesystem agreed between both parties to dealwith requests.

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATECandidates will preferably use the computertools that ADIF makes available to them (SIPSOR,PATHFINDER). Those who request internationaltrain paths may also make requests via the ADIFOSS or any OSS on the RNE network.If any Candidate is not equipped with a suitablecomputer connection or the systems are out oforder, the requests will be made by email tothe ADIF OSS, using the model in Annex C,the latter recording the request in the SIPSORapplication on behalf of the Candidate.If no agreement exists with a particularCandidate, the latter may submit Capacityrequests, Annex C, to ADIF, enclosing alldocuments that figure in section 4.2 of this NS.Notification of the reply to this request will in thiscase be sent by ADIF, by any certified means,to the business address of the Candidate.Applications made via ADIF shall be submittedat least five working days before the departureat origin of the train path requested, due to thefact that it is otherwise impossible to ensure areply in suitable time and form.Requests made by PATHFINDER through anexternal OSS or any other non-computerisedmeans, with proper acknowledgement ofreceipt, will be recorded in SIPSOR by the ADIFOSS.The Candidate is bound to keep informationabout requests permanently up to date, inparticular communicating any train pathcancellation or the abandonment of a requestas soon as possible.When a Candidate makes a request, the latterwill be based on a confirmed commercialneed, technical feasibility and the availability ofresources, so that the consistency of the requestjustifies the inclusion of the train path on themesh. Otherwise, the Candidate will channeltheir research type enquires through emails tothe CM, avoiding the unnecessary occupationof train meshes with train paths that are notsufficiently consistent.To facilitate the work of Candidates who agreewith ADIF to the use of SIPSOR, when theperiod for requesting a new Working Timetablebegins, the CM will automatically create acomputer request in the system from regulartrain paths in force at the time.Candidates will be bound to check that all trainpath requests have been entered in the systemand that all information has been properly filledin; they shall also cancel the request for trainpaths for which no further allocation is desired.The CM will inform SIPSOR in good time or bythe same means by which the allocated trainpaths were requested, both at the request ofCandidates and of any changes to those alreadyallocated caused by technical adjustment tothe mesh. Train paths communicated by theCM may be consulted through the MALLASapplication. It will indicate any circumstancesin the “Observations” field that determine useof the train path. Even if the space provided inSIPSOR is insufficient to state the determiningfactors, the allocation may be supplementedwith a written communication.Candidates are bound to accept the allocatedpaths or to reject them by the means theywere requested, this being no later thanwhen the argument period concludes. Whenthe established periods expires without anyacceptance being received from the Candidate81CAPACITY ALLOCATION04

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATEfor a train path allocated by the means inwhich it was requested, the CM may freely usethe train path, especially if no communicationhas been received from the Candidate in thisrespect.With the routes accepted, the correspondingregulatory documents will be prepared.Publication of these regulatory documents will atno time involve any breach of confidentiality.As well as accepting the paths, the Candidateshall, in the periods established, be bound togive the CM final announcement of these trainpaths. The announcement of trains consists inthe Candidate formally stating the specific trainoperation days. Train paths will be public oncethey are announced.In the case of regular train paths (SERVITREN),the operating dates are only valid for thepurposes of train path mesh representation ongraphs. If the actual announcement does notcorrespond with the announcement initiallyrequested, the CM may reject some of the datesannounced. The latter situation informed by theCandidate will be the one that is operative insuccessive graphing, unless a request is madein writing to consider other operating days forgraphing purposes.Occasional train paths (TRENDÍA) will beannounced according to the dates requested,once the train path has been accepted by thesuitable channel.4.3. TRAIN PATH REQUEST SCHEDULEWithin the train path allocation process, fulfilmentof programmed schedules is essential to ensureproduct quality and to allow logistic planning ofthe various participants in the process, as wellas allowing all Candidates to have the finaltimetables in good time.To reply to those requests submitted beyond thedeadline, the CM will assess the scope of theformer, informing the Candidates in good timeof their decision on the deadline commitment,possibly dealing with them in subsequentadjustments, and possibly allocating residualcapacity to these requests.4.3.1. REGULAR TRAIN PATHS(SERVITREN)ADIF makes a wide range of adjustmentsavailable to Candidates with suitable periodsto respond to most transport needs.Nevertheless, when a Candidate tries to carryout changes to their Transport Plan that maysubstantially alter current operating plans, theyshall inform the CM of this circumstance inadvance, and the latter will assess the desirabilityof proposing a more extensive programmingschedule. If the above communication does nottake place, the CM may reject its establishment,proposing a technically feasible date forstudying the changes made.83CAPACITY ALLOCATION04

The replymay also be delayed when a TRENDÍA trainpath is requested so far in advance that theCM considers the regular train service is notsufficiently consolidated to carry out occasionaltrain studies.For exceptional and justified reasons, theCandidate may request train paths with lessthan 5 working days. This service will only beprovided on working days (from Monday toFriday), requests having to be submitted before12:00 on the day before the requested traindeparture. The reply will be notified before18:00 of the same day.4.4. CAPACITY ALLOCATIONA. DIFFERENT USE OF INFRASTRUCTUREThe main instrument used by ADIF todefine general guidelines for different useof infrastructure is the estimate of trainpaths available train in each section andtimetable period for each type of service, thisinformation being included in the CapacitiesManual (CM). “Train path quotas” are trainpath capacities foreseen by ADIF for eachtype of service. Types of Services consideredfor these purposes are:• Long distance passenger services.• Commuter and regional train passengerservices.• Freight services.The CM tries to make the Capacity allocationprocess as transparent as possible, but it is asimplification of the train mesh reality sinceits design may be decisively influenced byaspects such as the stops requested, technicalcharacteristics of trains, loads requested, etc.This information is merely supplied as guidancetherefore, the CM being authorised to allocatetrain paths depending on each case, as longas it maintains the general spirit of quotas statedin the CM.Those priorities that may be stated by the Ministryof Public Works for a particular type of traffic willalso be included in the CM.

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATEB. TRAIN PATH ALLOCATION MODELSADIF usually applies several technical modelsto allocate train paths, depending on trafficcharacteristics, such as:• The technical capacity of the railway lineand its level of saturation.• The possibility of defining an operating planaccording to traffic.• The cadency of existing or potential traffic.The specific use of different models on eachline will be outlined in the CM.The following three models are used on theADIF Managed Network:• Free Model (FM)This is the simplest, insofar as it doesnot involve the use of any a prioricriteria. Train paths are determinedby seeking the slightest connectionbetween the request and Capacity. Thismodel occurs on lines on which meshdesign criteria cannot be effectivelyestablished. Train paths on these linesare freely inserted therefore, train bytrain.• Integral Pre-graphed Model (IPM)On railway lines on which most trainpaths have homogenous speeds andare graphed in series, a generic meshis prepared which makes it possible tooptimise the capacity and quality oftrain path groups.Once the pre-graphing has beendesigned, specific train requests fromCandidates will be dealt with by theCM on the basis of pre-graphed trainpaths, allocating pre-graphed trainpaths when available.Special trains that cannot be adaptedto the standard train path modelwill be included in the graphing ina specific way, the CM possiblyrejecting their operation in orderto make the best possible use ofavailable Capacity.This model is preferably used onlines that have to withstand a largeamount of freight traffic with seriesof trains.• Cadenced integral model (CIM)This model consists in repeating anoperating model in a cadencedfrequency. The repetition interval isknown as the “cadency”. A differentcadency may be created in eachtimetable period.With the current tendency being for thismodel to spread, the most significantexamples today exist on Commutertrain lines with considerable traffic.C. CAPACITY ALLOCATION PROCESSIn the Capacity allocation process, the CMshall ensure access based on principles ofobjectivity, transparency and fairness, at thesame time ensuring that the technical qualityof train paths is suitable.87CAPACITY ALLOCATION04

88The CM will therefore try to deal withCandidate requests in the best possible waywhen preparing Working Timetables or theiradjustments, and also when occasional trainpaths are requested, optimising travellingtimes and track capacity.The CM is empowered to reserve Capacityfor scheduled maintenance, replacement ornetwork extension operations, in order toresolve congested infrastructure problems andto provide railway services of public interest,as per Art. 48 of the RSF.The Capacity allocation process is subdividedinto the following phases:I. Capacity allocation phase in thecorresponding train paths.II. Phase of train path technical adjustmenton mesh.III. Coordination Phase.IV. IV. Argument Phase.The Capacity allocation process for preparingthe Working Timetable (and, in a similar way,its adjustments) will be in accordance with thefollowing flow diagram.

UPDATECAPACITY ALLOCATION PROCESS89CAPACITY REQUESTSCapacitRequestsPRIORITIESRequestWITH CAPACITYRequestWITH NO CAPACITYPREFERENCESTechnical meshAdjustmentSolution withcoordinationNo SolutionCoordinationWorking TimetableProjectArgumentsWorking TimetableIn subsequent adjustments to Working Timetablepreparation, Capacity Allocation will preferablybe according to residual capacities and byusing the technical insertion of train paths onthe mesh, trying not to affect train paths thatalready exist.The CM is authorised to accept smallincompatibilities between train paths when theyconsider that they do not disturb the operationsof other trains.I. CAPACITY ALLOCATION PHASECAPACITY ALLOCATIONFor occasional train paths, the CM will confineitself to available Capacity, establishing thereception of requests as the order of priority.This phase will determine what requestswill obtain requests on the lines and thecorresponding time periods.04

90This process will initially be carriedout according to estimated Capacityavailable on each line, and dependingon the traffic types figuring on theCM. Once demands have been metaccording to traffic types, those requeststhat have not obtained Capacity mayhave access to residual Capacity forother traffic types, provided this istechnically feasible.When Capacity is allocated to aCandidate other than the RU, the latter shallgive ADIF the details of the RU that is goingto use this Capacity with at least five daysnotice before it is actually used (Art. 14.2ORDEN FOM/897/2005, of 7 th April).• Allocation priority principlesWhen several requests are in a positionto obtain the same train slot, especiallyif the line has been declared to becongested, the priority criteria will beas follows, in a descending order ofpriority:• Priorities that, where appropriate,are established by the Ministry ofPublic Works for the various typesof service on each line.• Service types that take priority onspecialised lines.• Any services declared to be ofpublic interest.• Train paths allocated and actuallyused during the period of theprevious Working Timetable.• International services.• Those requests subject to an existingagreement.• The greatest frequency for which atrain path is requested in a WorkingTimetable.• System efficiency.The CM may modulate strict applicationof these allocation principles in order toensure, as much as possible, accessto all Candidates who have requestedCapacity, especially on lines declaredto be congested.Without prejudice to the applicationof priority criteria, ADIF shall ensurereasonable use is made of trackCapacity. In this respect, some trainsmight, due to their own technicalspecifications, reduce Capacity orimpede operations.This is why ADIF may restrict therunning of some trains on the basis ofsolely technical operating criteria (lackof certain on board equipment, runningtimes not suited to line features, etc.)Furthermore, when a train path isrequested by the Candidate and analternative, less congested route exists,the CM may schedule the train pathat their own initiative along the mostsuitable route, in order to encouragethe greatest Capacity availability fortraffic for which the most congestedroute is technically and economically

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATEnecessary. The CM will itemise suchsituations in writing to the Candidateaffected.When these requests are significant ona particular line, they will be mentionedin the CM.II. TECHNICAL MESH ADJUSTMENT PHASEOnce the requests have obtainedCapacity, the technical process of meshinsertion commences.This process is subject to certain technicalprinciples of train path insertion andmesh adjustment.The CM will be authorised to apply thefollowing technical criteria:• Technical Adaptation of TrainPathsThe CM may, according to certainreasonable parameters, vary thetimetable proposed by Candidatesdue to technical reasons or to make allthe requests of the different Candidatescompatible. It may therefore set outthe route time or the technical stops itconsiders suitable to ensure punctualityin train operations, in order to makedifferent train paths compatible and tooptimise track Capacity.• Cadenced ServicesRequests made by consideringCadenced Services may take certainpreference during the technical meshadjustment process in order to achievedsuitable cadencing.• Specialized linesThe Ministry of Public Works may grantthe status of specialised line to somesections at certain periods. On theselines, the Capacity allocation processundertaken by the CM may give somepreference in technical mesh adjustmentto the predominant services.• Public Service TrafficThe CM may give preference toservices that cover certain publicservices during the technical meshadjustment process, especially atpeak times.• Long Distance Trains (Passengersor Freight)Given the special technical complexityinvolved in constructing very long trainpaths, given that the latter run on agreat number of lines, particularlyinternational ones, the CM may givesome preference in mesh graphing tolong distance trains.The CM will try to ensure, if nothingprevents this, that train paths allocatedto the above Working Timetable thatobtain Capacity in the new WorkingTimetable can retain their basicfeatures.91CAPACITY ALLOCATION04

92At the end of this process, the CMwill allocate the corresponding trainpaths to Candidates. In the case ofregular train paths, this allocation willbe provisional until the coordinationand argument period phase hasconcluded.For Working Timetable requests submittedbeyond the deadline or for trainpaths allocated in Working Timetableadjustments, the argument period willbe 5 calendar days following allocationof Capacity and 2 days for occasionaltrain paths.III. COORDINATION PHASEThe coordination phase has beenconceived to settle disputes that mayarise in requests and the Allocation ofinfrastructure Capacity.4.4.1. COORDINATION PROCESSThis process is described in the previous section,Coordination Phase, Point III.In drawing up the Working Timetable orin Harmonised Adjustments, Candidateswill have ten calendar days following thedate of the Capacity allocation offer toaccept or reject it, as well as to makeany suitable comments on the above.This period will be three calendar daysfollowing the date of Capacity Allocationfor other cases.During this coordination phase, theCM will promote train path analysisand suitable negotiating actions withoperators in order to satisfy the series ofdemands received in the best possibleway, even when it proposes allocationsto Candidates that differ in some casesfrom those requested.4.4.2.

MAINTENANCE AND WORK ONTHE ADIF MANAGED NETWORKADIF is responsible for constant maintenancework and investment on its lines, eitherthrough maintenance work on infrastructure inservice, or by carrying out enhancement andwork and extensions to its network.This work may however involve someinevitable restrictions to traffic. Whenrailway traffic is unavoidably affected by thiswork, ADIF will try to cause as little disturbanceas possible and to promote enhancement ofthe infrastructure that leads to a better serviceby ADIF.ADIF will try to minimise the effects of workon rail traffic, at the same time ensuringthat work is carried out reasonably from atechnical and financial point of view.TOC CommitteesIn cases where it is impossible for railwaytraffic not to suffer any considerablealterations, the Candidates will have theright to accurate information in suitabletime about possible significant effects ontrain paths allocated.The scheduling of infrastructure workwill be channelled through the TOCCommittee made up of those in chargeat the departments of InfrastructureMaintenance, Infrastructure Constructionand Operations.There will be a Central Committee andother Regional Committees. In eachsession, the Regional Committees willbe in charge of carrying out preparatoryanalysis so that the Central Committeeadopts the final agreements. The TOCsessions may be ordinary or extraordinary.Candidates will be informed of decisionsadopted in the latter and will convey anymatters raised by the latter for analysisand resolution.The TOC Committees will determine inordinary sessions the permanent timesfor building work that needs to beconsidered in train paths for the WorkingTimetable in the following year. They willalso schedule work on infrastructure inordinary sessions that permanently affectstrain operations. Ordinary sessions will inparticular establish or review the periodsand conditions of Maintenance Bands.Relevant work or speed restrictions withcontinued effects in three months, orless, will be considered to be permanentwhen the consequences on traffic aresignificant. Schedules will be establisheduntil the end of the Working Timetable,the Minutes of each Committee sessionbeing kept.Candidates will be informed ofagreements before the official deadlinefor submitting Capacity applications forthe Working Timetable.For cases in which major changesare to occur throughout the WorkingTimetable with respect to the estimatesmade in the annual ordinary session,ordinary adjustment sessions areforeseen in January, July and October.Extraordinary sessions may also be heldwhen it is necessary for exceptional93CAPACITY ALLOCATION04

94reasons to agree to work outsideordinary sessions.In the process of allocating trainpaths, the CM will consider Capacityreserves arising from work scheduledat TOC committees. Candidates shallassume the effects on trains (increasein travelling times, reduced Capacity,etc.) when ADIF communicates this withsufficient notice, for which a minimumperiod of two months is established.The ADIF operating manager may forextraordinary reasons permit the use ofdifferent measurements or periods, withno right to compensation from ADIF.Maintenance bandsMaintenance Bands consist of reserveADIF capacity for ordinary maintenancework on infrastructure and its facilities.3-5 hours a day per line will be scheduledaccording to their characteristics andequipment. On double track, an effort willbe made to leave one track free, exceptwhere ADIF has another measurement, inaccordance with technical reasons. LineCapacity will therefore be restricted inMaintenance Band time when operationsare only ensured on one track. Theplanned intervals for the MaintenanceBands figure on the CM.Extraordinary workAlthough extraordinary work shallpreferably be carried out under the aegisof Maintenance Bands, when a longerinterval, permanent or non permanent,is necessary at specific or temporarytimes, this will be scheduled by the TOCCommittees.When a work interval is required that isdifferent from those in the MaintenanceBands, a record will be made of whichis the extraordinary interval and which isthe normal maintenance interval.Specific, extraordinary work of littleimportance may be directly agreed byADIF with the operators affected, withthe notice considered necessary.4.6. NON USAGE/CANCELLATION RULESRUs and Candidates are obliged to use theCapacity obtained in the conditions in whichit was allocated to them. In the event ofcongested infrastructure, unjustified failure touse the train spots allocated may be the causeof a serious violation if it is attributable to theRU (Art. 89 c) of the LSF).The CM will carry out monthly analysisregarding the level of use made of allocatedslots, which will be communicated to the RUsand other Candidates. Notwithstanding theactions covered in the LSF, and which ADIF maytake in those cases that involve a major failureto make effective use of the infrastructure, theCM will propose the cancellation or changeof slots to Candidates when it detects the lackor systematic use, especially in the case ofcongested lines.When the percentage use is below 50% ina continuous one month period, especiallyin the case of congested lines, the CM may

NETWORK STATEMENT 2008. UPDATEalso change the Capacity allocation withoutany timetable restrictions, communicatingthis circumstance in writing and giving areasoned justification for the causes of thedecision adopted. An argument period of10 days has been established for the RU orCandidate.RUs and Candidates shall tell ADIF of theguarantees offered, pursuant to currentlegislation, in order to ensure the safety ofthird parties and the actual infrastructure, inaccordance with Art. 63.3 of the LSF and RD810/2007 of Traffic Safety.954.7. EXCEPTIONAL TRANSPORT ANDDANGEROUS GOODS4.7.1. EXCEPTIONAL TRANSPORTExceptional Transport, trains which includerolling stock that does not strictly comply withregulations (loading gauge, axle weight, etc.),are regulated by General Instruction IG 02 of31 st January 1995.By virtue of this, RUs who wish to Transportthe above shall address the ADIF TrafficSafety Office in order to carry out the relevanttechnical study. The latter will subsequentlyinform the Traffic Operating Centre and the RUof the operating restrictions.A specific contract may be drawn up forcertain exceptional transport that couldcause significant disturbance to traffic oraffect infrastructure.4.7.2. DANGEROUS GOODSRUs and Candidates will indicate in theirCapacity requests any trains that carrydangerous goods, so that they can be suitablyconsidered in the scheduling process, inaccordance with Art. 47.5 of the LSF.4.8. SPECIAL MEASURES TO BE TAKENIN THE EVENT OF DISTURBANCETraffic will be controlled by ADIF so that actualtrain operations are adapted as far as possibleto the Capacity allocated.To carry out this task effectively, the RUs willbe bound to supply ADIF with all informationrequired of them, in suitable time and form,prior to the departure of the train and duringrunning. If technical train features do notcoincide with those that figure on the requestfor which Capacity was granted, ADIF mayadopt suitable deregulating measures andeven prevent train operations.A traffic agreement will in particular be madebetween ADIF and the RUs which will indicatethe people or authorised bodies capable oftaking rapid operating decisions, particularlywith respect to traffic operations and disruptions.4.8.1. TRAFFIC CONTROL PRINCIPLESTraffic control shall be based on transparentand non-discriminatory principles. Giventhat their main aim is to ensure maximumpunctuality in accordance with theCapacity allocated, ADIF may apply, whenit considers suitable, the following regulatingprinciples:CAPACITY ALLOCATION04

96• Preference for trains that have obtainedCapacity as opposed to trains that havenot reserved Capacity.• Preference for trains that run in their trainpath as opposed to those running behindschedule, with the aim of minimising theextension of delays on the mesh (meshcontamination).• Preference in the case of rail trafficdisturbances arising due to technicalfaults, accidents or any other incidents.Suitable measures will be adopted in thiscase to restore normality, as laid down inArt. 34.1 of the LSF.4.8.2. OPERATIONAL RULESPunctuality is not the sole responsibility of ADIF.The RUs have a very important role to play inmaking trains (their own ones or those of otherRUs) run without any delays. This is why ADIFwill promote the signing of harmonised qualityagreements with different RUs, in which servicequality objectives may be established andagreements to act for achieving them.In accordance with Art.34 of the LSF andArt. 8 of RD 810/2007, of 22 nd June, whena disruption occurs to railway traffic due toa technical failure, an accident or any otherincident, ADIF shall adopt all suitable measuresto restore normality.For this purpose, ADIF, with the approval ofthe Ministry of Public Works has prepared theContingency Plan document, which is the seriesof alternative procedures to usual operations, andwhose aim is the allow the latter to work evenwhen some of its functions or facilities cease tobe operative as a result of an incident that maybe both inside and outside the organisation, andwhose purpose is to create a general action planfor tackling and resolving any contingency thatmay disturb the normal running of rail traffic frompreventive, predictive and corrective perspectives.It contains, amongst others, the general frameworkfor action, principles of priority in traffic controlin the event of contingencies, recommendedactions, warning plans to ADIF bodies and PublicAuthority organisations, hazard maps, togetherwith other plans and records that supplementand expand on the above Contingency Plan.Contingency plans have been signed with thefollowing RUs: RENFE–Operadora, Comsa RailTransport S.A., Continental Rail S.A. and AccionaRail Services S.A.In the event of an emergency and when itis absolutely necessary due to temporarynon-usage of infrastructure, ADIF may, with noprior notice, cancel, redirect or change trainpaths for the time needed until the system isrestored to normal, and carry out any urgentrepairs that are necessary, informing theoperator as soon as possible for the purposesthey consider suitable. In this case, neitherthe Candidates nor the RUs will be entitledto demand any compensation or damages,in accordance with Art.34.1 of the LSF.ADIF, in the terms laid down in Art.110 ofthe RSF, may require the RUs and their staffto make the technical and human resourcesthey consider to be most suitable available forrestoring traffic in the most reasonable periodof time (Art. 34.3 LSF). Both ADIF and the RUswill in any case act in mutual coordination andcollaboration to ensure that customer serviceand attention is as effective as possible.
