TAF/TAP TSI

Input from wagon keepers: route classes CE, D5 and E6 does not exist. Could you please provide proof of such route classes (e.g. UIC leaflet or CEN EN norm)?

DB Netz is missing the route classes CE, D5 and E6 in the list above. These codes has to be added to avoid problems in exchange of messages in planning phase and to avoid creation of a new network specific parameter.

After SMO meeting held on 5 September 2019 it is decided not to chnage the coding numbers of this CR. It is accepted and implemented as originally proposed.

SMO accepted this CR but since the code numbers colided with CR 111 they were updated. The new code numbers are:

41 – Final Offer rejected

42 - Preparation of draft offer - accepted

43 - Preparation of draft offer - rejected

44 – Draft offer rejected

Hi Maté,

Thank you for preparing the minutes of the meeting.
I have a remark about the paragraph "How to deal with modification of International Train Number?"

According to the definitions of train numbers given by FTE, we have :

• ITN = Number allocated by IM in path construction (Planning phase). RU/RA can ask for a number when requesting the path, but has no guarantee that the requested number will be used by IM.
• OTN = Number used for traffic management in Operations. It may be (in most cases) the same as the ITN. However, the IM can at any time change the OTN for operational reasons (before or after departure).

So I think that 1/ what is written in the minutes should be rephrased - to avoid the misunderstanding that ITN would be the number requested by RA and OTN the number allocated by IM.
2/ The case of modification of international train numbers encompasses 2 sub-cases : modification of ITN (in Planning after allocation) and modification of OTN (in Operations)
Both cases needs a process of coordination between involved IMs and an information to involved RU/RAs, but probably will not be solved by the same TAF TAP messages...

Best regards,
Loic
