Due diligence prior to submitting a Possession Request can facilitate efficient processing and response times. Where relevant, the following factors should be considered.
• Consult the Master Train Plan (MTP) to identify potential Possession window(s) with minimal impact to train operations. The MTP is accessible via the ARTC Website Master Train Plan or TRIMS. Note: the MTP is subject to change without notice.
• Identify and detail any potential train impacts. Note: If passenger trains are impacted, this may require a longer Minimum Advertisement Period.
• For works conducted by an external party, refer to the ARTC Website External Parties Accessing the Rail Corridor and liaise with ARTC Property and/or ARTC Third Party Projects to obtain any required legal documentation.
