Article 4 – paragraph 2 – point 17 a (new)
(17a) Systematic capacity bandwidths and systematic train paths are based on Article 11 and Article 20 of this Regulation. Embedded in the strategic capacity planning process as defined by Article 11, they take the form of capacity bandwidths which are to be concretized along the different stages of the strategic capacity planning while reaching the form of systematic train paths at the stage of the capacity supply. They are pre- constructed for freight and/or passenger traffic and offered by the infrastructure manager based on different sources such as past timetables, needs submitted by customers, market forecasts and politically driven capacity concepts. They are allocated to market segments and occur in a patterned manner, in a regular schedule.

1. As regards temporary restrictions of the capacity of railway lines, for reasons such as infrastructure works, including associated speed restrictions, axle load, train length, traction, or structure gauge (‘capacity restrictions’), of a duration of more than 7 consecutive days and for which more than 30 % of the estimated traffic volume on a railway line per day is cancelled, re-routed or replaced by other modes of transport, the infrastructure managers concerned shall publish all capacity restrictions, as far as they are known, and the preliminary results of a consultation with the applicants for a first time at least 24 months and, in an updated form, for a second time at least 12 months before the change of the working timetable concerned.
