The Network Planning Manager will work with internal stakeholders to determine what type of possessions best suits the proposed works, considering the following factors;
– The effect of a proposed track possession on continuity of service delivery and rail services,
– The location of the proposed works and track possession,
– The scope of the works,
– The requested period in which the works are to be performed,
– The duration of the track possession requested,
– In consultation with the party proposing a track possession, determine if the work can be carried out outside the danger zone and thus if a track possession may not be required,
– Advice from the relevant project manager or supervisor regarding resource availability,
– Inclusion of work trains or track machines to carry out the proposed works,
– The need for sidings to be cleared of vehicles,
– Any interruptions required to line-side operations by a third-party in order to allow works to be carried out safely, e.g. on sidings.
– Factors related to Safe Working at network interfaces.
