INFRASTRUCTURE
Introduction
Infrastructure refers to the state-owned rail network managed by Iarnrd ireann (I). I is responsible for the construction and maintenance of all elements of the rail system in Ireland, including, but not limited to, tracks, signalling systems, buildings, structures etc.
The information contained in this Network Statement is correct at September 2010 (November 2010 for Appendix 5).
3.2
Network
The Iarnrd ireann network, Figure 1, currently extends to approximately 2,036 route km. This figure includes approximately 1,680 km of open lines and approximately 356 km of engineers sidings and closed lines. The open network includes main line, cross-country, Dublin suburban and commuter passenger routes, together with freight- only routes.
3.2.1
Limits
The current rail network is shown in tabular form in Appendix 1. Passenger stations are dealt with in Appendix 2 and details of freight depots are to be found in Appendix 3.
Lines currently not available for traffic: Athenry - Claremorris Claremorris - Collooney Midleton - Youghal Navan - Kingscourt Mullingar - Athlone Waterford Rosslare Strand Limerick Foynes Tralee - Fenit
3.2.2
Connected Railway Networks
There is a connection to the railway system in Northern Ireland via Dundalk:
International Connection Iarnrd ireann Station Dundalk Distance to Border 8.4km

Maximum line speed 160 km/h (100 mph). II Other passenger lines awaiting upgrading. Maximum line speed 95 km/h (60 mph). III Freight lines, depots and sidings. Maximum line speed 50 km/h (30 mph). -5 - +5 -3 - +3 Variation mm -2 - +2
Stations and Junctions The current stations and junctions on the I network are shown graphically and in tabular form in Appendix 1.
3.3.2
Capabilities
Loading Gauge The current loading and structure gauges for the I network are detailed in Appendix 4.
Weight Limits The maximum axle load permissible on the I network is 18.8 tonnes
Line Gradients The maximum sustained gradient on the Iarnrd ireann network is 1 in 60 in the Up direction on the Dublin-Cork line between mile posts 164 and 162. Other significant sustained gradients include 1 in 80 in the Up direction on the Dublin-Sligo line between mile posts 75 and 70 and 1 in 90 in the Up direction on the Dublin-Wexford line between mile posts 40 and 36.
Line Speeds The maximum speed is 160 km/h for passenger trains and 80 km/h for freight trains. However, on certain sections of line and/or for certain types of train lower maximum speed limits apply. These Permanent Speed Restrictions are set out in Appendix 5.
Temporary Speed Restrictions are advised through the Weekly Circular published internally by Iarnrd ireann.
Maximum Train Lengths The maximum length of passenger trains is governed by the length of platforms at stations the trains serve. Platform lengths are set out in Appendix 2.
Except where specifically authorised, the number of vehicles attached to fully braked freight trains must not exceed 36 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs). For the purpose of calculating train lengths, one 18.6 m (62 9) bogie wagon or one 22 m bogie pocket wagon is counted as 3 TEUs, all other bogie wagon types are counted as 2 TEUs and 2-axle wagons are counted as 1 TEU.
Power Supply The Dublin suburban rail system in the area bounded by Malahide, Howth and Greystones is electrified at 1,500V DC. Current is supplied to trains by an overhead contact line, with one or both of the running rails forming the return part of the circuit.
Contact wire height can range from 4,200 mm to 5,600 mm. Maximum contact wire stagger is 400 mm.
3.3.3
Traffic Control and Communication Systems
Signalling Systems The signalling systems currently in use on the I network are shown graphically in Appendix 6.
Traffic Control Systems The traffic control systems currently in use on the I network are shown graphically in Appendix 7.
Communication Systems The communication systems currently in use on the I network are shown graphically in Appendix 8. There are two types of train radio system:
Mode A: This provides communication between driver and CTC. It operates in full duplex mode and allows for general calls to all trains or discrete calls to specific trains. It also allows for the transmission of text messages in either direction and allows calls to be connected to the PABX system. The system provides full coverage over the lines it is operational on.
Mode C: A more basic system operational on lines not covered by CTC. It is an open channel system between drivers and the local signal cabin. There is no provision for discrete communication to specific trains - all trains in the area can hear both sides of the conversation. There is also no provision for calls to be connected to the PABX system. The range of the system is limited, about 5 miles from each cabin.
ATC Systems Not applicable

CAPACITY ALLOCATION
Introduction
This chapter describes the process for capacity allocation. The legal framework for capacity allocation is governed by Statutory Instrument 55 of 2010. Refer in particular to article 11 of the regulation.
4.2
Description
Capacity for operating regular train services on the Irish railway network shall be requested from Iarnrd ireann for each timetable period within the time defined. It is possible to make ad hoc train path requests to which Iarnrd ireann will respond within 10 working days.
4.2.1
Requesting Track Capacity
An application for the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity may be submitted to Iarnrd ireann for each timetable period by a railway undertaking or international grouping. The applicant must provide the relevant documentation and bonds described in Section 2.2 i.e. licence, safety certificate and insurance.
Requests for capacity shall be made in writing or electronically. Written requests must be sent to:
Iarnrd ireann, Infrastructure Manager, Connolly Station, Amiens Street, Dublin 1.
or electronically to: Accesscharges@irishrail.ie.
Railway undertakings shall give the following information for each train in their application for capacity:
Departure and Arrival time Train Type (passenger of freight) Maximum permitted speed Times/days/periods of operation Details of rolling stock including the vehicle serial numbers and numbers of units per series Technical details of rolling stock tonnage, length, brake type
Railway undertakings may also give the following train information:
Train number Stops of passenger trains/handling points of freight trains Other information relating to operation
Railway undertakings may also request part of the capacity without indicating exact requirements.
14
4.3
4.3.1
Schedule for Path Requests and Allocation Process

Schedule for Working Timetable
The Timetable period in rail traffic starts annually at the second weekend of December at 00.00hrs on the night between Saturday and Sunday and runs for one calendar year. Applicants for capacity shall request capacity no earlier than 12 and no less than 8 months ahead of the timetable period.
4.3.2
Requesting Infrastructure Capacity for Temporary Traffic
Applicants for capacity may request capacity from Iarnrd ireann outside the capacity of the prescribed period if they urgently need capacity for one or more provisional train paths. Ad hoc capacity requests for the time period between the change dates can be made after the capacity application period has ended. Iarnrd ireann will give its decision concerning the capacity request within 10 working days of receiving the application.
4.4
Allocation Process
Iarnrd ireann shall consult with interested parties about the draft working timetable and allow them one month to present their views. Interested parties shall include all those who have requested capacity as well as other parties who wish to have the opportunity to comment on how the draft working timetable may affect their ability to procure rail services during the working timetable period. The draft working timetable shall take account of the capacity requested provided that the requested train paths enable railway traffic to be operated in accordance with technical and safety regulations.
Iarnrd ireann may in order to improve capacity, offer applicants capacity that does not essentially differ from the capacity they have requested. Iarnrd ireann may designate specific infrastructure for use by specific types of transport. Such designation shall not prevent the use of such infrastructure by other types of traffic when capacity is available and when rolling stock conforms to the technical characteristics necessary.
Iarnrd ireann may reserve infrastructure capacity within the timetable to enable it to respond to foreseeable ad hoc requests for individual train paths.
4.4.1
Allocating Capacity
Iarnrd ireann shall take account of the views of interested parties and allocate capacity based on (a) the draft timetable (b) on a fair and non-discriminatory manner and (c) subject to Statutory Instrument 55 of 2010.
Infrastructure may only be allocated to a suitably qualified and licensed railway undertaking. Iarnrd ireann shall as far as possible meet all requests for capacity including requests for train paths crossing more than one network. Iarnrd ireann may not refuse an application for a train path if there is no other application for all or part of a path.
If more than one application is received for all or part of a particular train path Iarnrd ireann will endeavour, by suggesting suitable amendments, to reach agreement among the applicants which would
15
enable some or all of the applications to be granted. If it is not possible to reach agreement with all the applicants, even though the applicants have not unreasonably refused to agree to a modification to their applications, Iarnrd ireann shall allocate the path to the applicant who has the right to use the path, or substantially similar path, at the time of application or allocate the path to one of the applicants on a nondiscriminatory basis. Iarnrd ireann may refuse any application if, in its opinion, the applicant has unreasonably refused to agree to modification to its application. Iarnrd ireanns decision concerning an application (including in the case of a refusal, the reason or reasons for a refusal) will be communicated in writing to the applicant. If the application is refused on the grounds of insufficient capacity the written notice shall include the following information:
That the applicant is entitled to request Iarnrd ireann to reconsider the application at the next timetable adjustment
The date when these adjustments would be considered and The time allowed and the procedure for the request.
4.4.2
Dispute resolution
If differences are not resolved during the hearings with applicants Iarnrd ireann will reach a decision based on the following considerations: Overall impact on timetable Optimisation of capacity use Priority rules in congested areas Number of identical paths used and Chronological order in which requests were received.
Railway undertakings may appeal a decision against a capacity allocation decision by Iarnrd ireann by lodging an appeal with the Minister for Transport.
4.4.3
Congested Infrastructure
If it is impossible to adequately satisfy requests for infrastructure capacity after the co-ordination process Iarnrd ireann will declare that part of the network a congested area. Iarnrd ireann may also designate an element of infrastructure as congested if it is evident that it will become congested during the timetable period. Even in congested areas Iarnrd ireann can reserve capacity in the working timetable to respond to foreseeable ad hoc requests.
If there are several requests for the same infrastructure the priority order will be as presented in Table 1. The priority criteria take account of the importance of the service to society, relative to any service which will subsequently excluded:
16
Table 1: Priority Order on Congested Infrastructure Table 1: Priority Order on Congested Infrastructure
Corridor Dublin Border Priority 1 2 3 4 5 Traffic DART Commuter Intercity (Belfast) Freight Infrastructure Trains Corridor Dublin Kildare Priority 1 2 3 4 5 6 Dublin Maynooth 1 2 3 4 Commuter Intercity Freight Infrastructure Dublin Bray 1 2 3 4 5 Traffic Even Interval Cork Other Intercity Long Distance Commuter Short Distance Commuter Freight Infrastructure Trains DART Commuter Intercity Freight Infrastructure Trains
4.5
Allocation of Capacity for Maintenance, Renewal and Enhancements
To guarantee levels of quality, safety, reliability of infrastructure Iarnrd ireann needs to reserve part of its available capacity for periodic maintenance and enhancements work by time period, section and line. Applicants may make conditional requests for paths at these times.
4.6
Non Usage Rules
Iarnrd ireann reserves the right to cancel timetable paths when their use falls below the 25 percent threshold quota in a given month unless this was caused by non economic reasons outside the alleged and proven control of the railway undertaking. If a path requested by an undertaking is not used it will have to pay the tariff as described in Section 6.
4.7
Exceptional Transport and Dangerous Goods
Path requests for this type of transport must be made with at least 30 days notice because of the need to assess and resolve any incompatibilities with Iarnrd ireann.
4.8
Special Measures to be taken in the event of Disturbance.
In the case of disturbances to rail traffic due to accidents or technical faults Iarnrd ireann will take all necessary measures to re-establish all normal operating conditions. In the case of emergencies or technical failures, that render the infrastructure temporarily unusable, allocated train paths can be cancelled without notice during the repair period. Costs and compensation to railway undertakings will be borne by the agency which caused the delay.
Iarnrd ireann will provide operating instructions on how to clear disturbance. This includes disturbances between undertakings. Railway undertakings have the right to present their own proposals for handling disturbance caused by their own trains.

Provision of Services
A specific charge will be imposed for the usage of electricity supply but the availability of other services listed in 5.3 will be negotiated with individual railway undertakings i.e. the ability of Iarnrd ireann to supply all the listed services is limited because of the size and scope of the existing network. However, where available the services will be provided and charged for. The payment shall be equitable for all railway undertakings.
5.5
Additional and Ancillary Services
Directive 2001/14 also lists a number of additional and ancillary services which may be provided. Iarnrd Eireann is not obliged to supply such services and its capability to supply them is limited. However, Iarnrd ireann will consider, without commitment, any specific requests made for them.

CHARGES
6.1 Charging Principles The charges for use of infrastructure are governed by Section 16 of Statutory Instrument 55 of 2010. This regulation stipulates in Section 16.1 thereof that the infrastructure charge shall be payable to the infrastructure manager and shall be used to fund infrastructure maintenance and the operations of the infrastructure manager in its capacity as infrastructure manager. Section 16.5(a) recommends that the infrastructure charge for the minimum access package and access to service facilities referred to in Annex 2 (of Directive 2001/14) shall be set at the cost that is directly incurred as a result of operating the train service.
6.2 Charging System The minimum access package charge is based on the maintenance and renewals expenditure on railway infrastructure comprising: Direct Maintenance, inspection and upkeep of track and associated facilities Direct renewal works of track and signalling facilities Excluded from these costs are indirect costs of maintenance and renewals, capital investment, funding and deprecation costs. A usage elasticity is applied to calculate the percentage of the direct maintenance and renewals cost which comprise the cost that is directly incurred as a result of operating the train service
6.3 Tariffs 6.3.1 Tariffs for essential services The tariffs for essential services cover the right of access, the right to make train path reservations and the right to run trains on the railway infrastructure, including all the services listed in Section 5.2.
The Iarnrd ireann network is divided into individual sections of line or groups of homogenous sections of line. A homogenous group is defined as being a series of operating sections which together are related in terms of their technological and operational characteristics, the type of service which they provide and their cost structure. The lines and groups are illustrated in Figure 2.
Tariffs are applied to services operating on theses lines at the rates per gross tonne kilometre quoted in Table 2. The amount payable for each rail journey is related to the gross tonne kilometres over each section of line. The amount is the sum of the values of all the sections covered, calculated by multiplying the gross tonne kilometres operated by the applicable charge for each section. The map below sets out the geographical extent of each section of the network:
19
Table 2 below details the gross tonne kilometre charge for each section of the network
Table 2: Tariffs for Sections of Line in Per Gross Tonne Kilometre Section Minimum Access Charge per Tonne km Excluding Electric Traction 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. InterCity DART Commuter Branch lines Freight Only 0.0088 0.0095 0.0110 0.0200 0.0098 Minimum Access Charge per Tonne km for Electric Traction 0.0004 -
6.3.2 Reservation Charges A reservation charge is required as part of the path application payable by the RU as a bond or equivalent of 5% of the access charge along with an application fee of 750. If the railway undertaking does not make use of a train path allocated to them then the proceeds of the bond (or equivalent) will go to the infrastructure manager. The amount of bond/equivalent forfeited by the railway undertaking should not exceed the cost of processing the application ( 750 application fee) and the amount of lost earnings as a result of the non-utilisation of the train path.
6.3.3 Mark-up Charges and Discounts Mark-up charges and discounts are not proposed for the period of this network statement the option will be considered in the future but undertakings will be consulted in advance.
6.3.4 Tariffs for additional services
6.3.4.1 Traction Power The tariff for use of traction power on the DART network is 1.25 per train kilometre.
6.3.4.2 Shunting If applicable the costs associated with shunting will be based on the number of staff allocated to the task, the time duration factored by the appropriate hourly rate.
6.3.4.3 Use of stations and yards Specific charges have not been identified for use of station and yards. These costs are included in the minimum access package charge.
6.3.4.4 Additional ancillary services Iarnrd ireann is not obliged to supply such services and its capability to supply them is limited. However, Iarnrd ireann will consider, without commitment, any specific requests made for them

6.4 Performance Regime The performance regime aims at reducing disturbances to a minimum and to promote efficiency in the services allowing for a better operating performance. The performance regime will be based on a monitoring and recording system whereby delays and performance affecting failures will be monitored and causation allocated to the relevant parties. The system will be transparent and appeal processes will be available to undertakings and conciliation mechanisms available. Incidents of delay will be assessed on a case by case for the duration of this network statement. The thresholds for recording of delays are as follows:
DART services: any train that arrives at destination over 5 minutes late Commuter services (i.e. Northern Commuter, Maynooth Commuter, Docklands/ Clonsilla Commuter and Heuston Commuter services): any train that arrives at destination over 5 minutes late. Mainline passenger services: any train that arrives at destination over 10 minutes late. Freight: services delayed by over 15 minutes. The delays recorded will be attributed to the relevant party in accordance with the Delay Attribution Guide see Appendix 11. Railway Period (thirteen periods to each year) targets for performance of each Railway Undertaking and the Infrastructure Manager will be assigned to promote reduction of disturbance and increased operating performance. Targets will be set and reviewed annually in alignment with each timetable period. The targets will cover a budget for delay minutes attributed, cancellations as a percentage of services and punctuality on arrival at destination. The targets for each party can be found in Appendix 12. Where Railway Undertakings fail to achieve their target performance penalties will be imposed as a percentage of the minimum access package charge to compensate for disruption. Where Infrastructure Manger performance is below target, Railway Undertakings will receive a discount to the minimum access charge package in order to compensate for disruption.
6.5 Invoicing Railway undertakings will be invoiced on a monthly basis. Invoices shall be paid within 30 days of the invoice date.
