3.4 Possession Request Minimum Pre-Requisites

The following shall be considered and included in the Possession Request:
• Type of track Possession to complete the scope of works (refer Section 2);
• Minimum time required to complete the work safely, allowing a reasonable amount of
contingency time;
• Significance / criticality of the works;
• Any handback windows to minimise train delays;
• Safe working limits required to conduct the works safely;
• Any impacts to signalling systems, ensuring that there are no impacts outside of the requested
possession limits;
• Any post-possession impacts that may be required after the Possession has been completed
e.g. Special train working or CAN warnings;
• Alignment, where relevant, with other works occurring on the same corridor or adjacent corridors
to minimise network disruption; and
