The JHR CRN track possession program is developed by the Network Planning Manager in conjunction with a range of internal and external stakeholders identified within this manual.
Track possession programs are developed to accommodate the following works;
– AWP projects (including MPM works),
– Routine maintenance works, and
– Third-party funded projects,
– Work executed by third parties within the rail corridor.
Prior to publication in final form via a CTN, multiple draft possession programs may be developed and used to
identify the effect of proposed track possessions on passenger and freight services, and related parties.
The following are considered during the development of a track possession program:
– Minimising the effect of proposed works on rail services,
– Requirements of project scopes within the AWP,
– Third Party work requirements,
– Special event timing and location,
– Alignment with track possessions on either or both the ARTC or Sydney networks,
– Resource availability for conducting proposed works,
– Routine maintenance works program, including;
– Ultrasonic rail testing,
– Ballast delivery and associated work train requirements,
– Rail grinding program.
