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.
