The Chronological Train List (CTL) is developed and approved by the AS&DC business unit.
The CTL is the Configuration Possessions work train and track machine (track vehicles) movement timetable that is developed based on a track speed of 15 kph whilst within the possession boundaries.
Note
Outside the boundaries of worksite parameters, a higher track speed can be adopted providing agreement is reached with the Possession Protection Officer (PPO)
The draft CTL is discussed at the WCM to determine the arrival and an exit time requirements and overnight stabling locations for work trains and track vehicles for critical jobs.
Critical work trains and track vehicle movements are discussed in detail to identify clashes with various worksites; critical arrival times, work train configuration, train path and stabling requirements
The CTL is developed based on rail-bound movements, planned worksites and other details discussed at the WCM. The CTL will include entry points and times to enter and leave the possession as well as movements between worksites.
Amendment to the CTL is made following the WCM and version 1 of the CTL is submitted to Service Planning, Work Train Planning Manager and Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) and Country Rail Network (CRN) no later than 10 weeks prior to the Possession.
Any further changes to the CTL must be made and the Final version submitted to Service Planning, Work Train Planning Manager and ARTC and CRN no later than 8 weeks prior to the Possession.
Sydney Trains boundaries that overlap with the ARTC and CRN are to be identified and managed accordingly.
Note
Requested changes to the CTL less than 8 weeks prior to the possession will not be accepted.
