3.3.5 Preferred Work Dates

It is important to determine if the proposed works can be carried out within an aligned track possession to minimise disruption to train services.
If a non-aligned primary possession or short notice works track possession is required, it is necessary to clearly define preferred work dates, or a range of dates, to allow track possession alternatives to be considered, to reduce or eliminate any interruption to service delivery.
Note; the nomination of a date for a proposed track possession does not guarantee that a track possession will be approved for that date.
