Train path application in the working timetable

DB Netz AG designs the working timetable train paths on the basis of train path applications. Detailed data such as the intended rolling stock, the desired running period and the planned course of the journey, for instance, are required to design a high-quality train path that meets the customers' requirements.

The respective train path application deadlines for the working timetables are listed in Chapter 4.2 of the Network Statement (SNB).

DB Netz AG provides the train path portal (TPN) for train path applications; it is connected to internal IT system by means of an interface, and is also accessible from the Internet. The use of electronic data exchange must be agreed between DB Netz AG and the Access Parties.

Train path applications and data or actions that are required in the working timetable within the framework of assignment in the sense of the Network Statement must be carried out using the TPN. Train path applications can be submitted by e-mail or fax using the respectively valid application form, particularly in the case of a TPN system technical failure or transmission disturbances or in the event that an IT system is not available at the applicant.The application forms and guidelines that are binding in this case are available for downloading in the following. Verbal or telephone train path applications are ruled out in all cases.

Train path application for ad hoc services

Applications for ad hoc services involve:

Applications outside of the working timetable or outside of the working timetable
Amendment applications for train paths in the working timetable
Amendment applications for ad hoc service train paths
