03 DESCRIPTION OF THE NETWORK 3.1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the main characteristics of the ADIF Managed Network that is available for Capacity Requests.

3.2. SCOPE OF THE ADIF MANAGED NETWORK

The ADIF Managed Network basically consists of lines that, until the LSF took effect, were managed by the public company Spanish National Railways (RENFE) and the Infrastructure Management Authority (GIF), both for operations and construction.

In accordance with that set forth in the ninth additional provision of the LSF, railway lines effectively closed to traffic as a consequence of the agreement of the Council of Ministers of 30 September, 1984 form an integral part of the REFIG. Ownership of these lines corresponds to the State and their management is the responsibility of ADIF. The economic-financial system foreseen in articles 22.2 of the LSF and 4.1 of the ADIF Statute is applicable for such lines. The aforementioned economic-financial system is compatible with collaboration agreements entered into with other Public Administrations, with full respect for the authority of each party intervening.

The ADIF Managed Network is made up of lines of mostly mixed traffic (Freight and Passengers). It is formed by lines with three different track gauges:

• Iberian (gauge (1,668 mm), which mainly covers the conventional network. • UIC Gauge (1,435 mm), mainly established on High Speed lines. • Metric gauge (1,000 mm), currently confined to the Cercedilla-Los Cotos 116 line.

Some sections even have dual gauges (Iberian and UIC gauges), the latter consisting of three rail line sections.

The main lines on the ADIF Managed Network have double tracks. They have more than two tracks on various approaches to large cities.

The maps included in Annex G include information relating to the identification and location of the main stations and railway junctions on the ADIF Managed Network, as well as distances in kilometres between the main stations and railway junctions, with details of the different track types (single track and double track and electrified or non-electrified track).

The contents of the Annexes are merely for information purposes. In the event of any discrepancy between the contents of these Annexes and the regulatory documents, the documents in the latter will take priority over those in the Annexes.

A complementary NS document is available to RUs and Candidates, known as the Capacities Manual (CM), which is kept for consultation at the Planning and Capacity Management Office of the 54 The 3.2.2.

Most lines on the ADIF Managed Network are currently Class D4. Some specific restrictions do however exist which affect certain points and lines, and which can be consulted in the Operating Manual.

B. Maximum Trailing Weight

The “Maximum Weight Table” is the official document that lays down the trailing weights for each locomotive on the various Network lines. It is available to RUs and other Candidates at the Planning and Capacity Management Office of the Executive Traffic Office.

Maximum weight is generally determined on the basis of two parameters:

• The most unfavourable line gradient on the train route. • The maximum locomotive weight, according to the line gradient above. 58 3.3.2.3.

Station platform lengths, as well as operating conditions, are the basis for establishing the maximum train lengths on different lines.

Maps 10 and 11 are included in Annex G, with the maximum train lengths allowed on each line, distinguishing between passenger and freight traffic.

The latter includes the Conditional Length, use of which requires specific authorisation from the H24 Network Management Operating Centre at the ADIF Executive Traffic Office.

3.3.2.6. Power Supply

The ADIF Managed Network has more than 8,000 km of electrified lines, two different voltage types being used:

Direct Current A rated voltage of 3,000 volts is generally used on the conventional network and 1,500 volts, as an exception, on the Metric Gauge.

Alternating Current The catenary supplies voltage of 25,000 volts at 50 Hz, its use normally being confined to High Speed lines.

Electricity power is limited to the availability of power supplied by the substation network.

Map 7 is included in Annex G, with electrified sections of the ADIF Managed Network, as well as the type of current available on these.

3.3.3. SAFETY, TRAFFIC CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

3.3.3.1. Signalling Systems: Block Systems

The ADIF Managed Network is equipped with signalling and block systems using diverse technology, the tendency being to use electronic interlockings with centralised remote control at Control Centres (CC).

The most frequent block systems are listed below:

Automatic Control Block System (ACBS) In this block system, the safety distance is maintained by indicating a speed limit, a target distance and a target speed in the driver’s cab, there being various systems on the ADIF Managed Network. 60

Map 12 in Annex G includes a summary of block systems existing on each line.

3.3.3.2. Safety Systems

Cab Signalling Systems

These systems provide an indication of the maximum permitted speed in the cabs of suitably equipped trains, being an alternative to conventional signalling and by which trains may run under the protection of cab signalling systems and others with conventional block systems.

The ADIF Managed Network has the following cab speed indicating systems:

– LZB

Control and Signalling system that continuously supervises train speed, and which controls train operations by means of cab indications.

– ERTMS

Control and Signalling system that will allow interoperability on the whole European Rail Network, and which combines ETCS and GSMR systems.

Trains running on certain lines may require the motor vehicles to be equipped with any of these systems, this being indicated in the Capacities Manual.

Map 13 in Annex G includes lines equipped with these systems, as well as routes with radio telephones.

Other Safety Systems

– Automatic brake and signal warning (ASFA)

This safety system gives cab indications of signals using balises.

ASFA is installed on most main lines in the ADIF Managed Network, rolling stock running on the network possibly being obliged to be equipped with it and to have it in operation. It is also mandatory for trains operating with one single staff member.

– ATP EBICAB

This safety system is based on specific information supplied by several balises installed on the line for constant speed supervision. 62 The radio telephone system is mandatory for freight trains operating with one single staff staff single one with operating trains freight for mandatory is member. system telephone radio The GSMR systemisforeseenonthewholenetwork. the towards migration gradual A Network. the on lines main the of most on installed is which and Centre, Control the and trains between communications individual allows which system telephone radio analog Ground-Train a through present at place take generally trains with Communications 3.3.3.3.

• Running on lines that pass through towns is not allowed when alternative bypasses exist. • Train stabling areas may not in general be planned in stations in populated areas. • In general, no stops may be scheduled in tunnels of more than 100 metres long.

In the event of any irregularity, ADIF may adopt suitable measures for train running and stabling.

3.5. AVAILABILITY OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE

In spite of the general trend for main lines on the ADIF Managed Network to be remote controlled through the CTC, some sections still exist that are not kept open to traffic throughout the year.

Actual station opening and closing times may be consulted in Instructions B published every month by each of the Operating Departments at the ADIF Executive Traffic Office, or in the so-called Train Document in cases where its application is specified.

3.6. PASSENGER TERMINALS

Ownership and management of all passenger terminals in the Network corresponds to ADIF, who may decide the type of management for the above.

These terminals offer certain basic services to passengers and their companions. ADIF offers the following, according to the characteristics of each terminal:

• Suitable dimensioning of spaces and equipment. • Suitable functioning of facilities (clearing, maintenance, upkeep, climate control, etc.). • General safety of terminals. • Information related to stations and related services.

The list of stations classified into categories is in Table 4, “Station Classification”, published in ORDEN FOM/3852/2007, included in Chapter 6.2 of this document. It also includes the most important passenger terminals on the ADIF Managed Network, classified by Regional Divisions, in Map 2, Annex G.

Furthermore, and related to the effort of adapting Rail Infrastructure to get customer oriented services, has been published “The Railway Service Guide for Disabled Passengers” (edition updated in September 2008); which includes accessible Stations and trains that provide services to the disabled and outlines the services offered to passengers with special needs related to transport and 64

3.9. INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

3.9.1. STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORT PLAN 2005-2020 (PEIT)

The Ministry of Public Works, through the Strategic Infrastructure and Transport Plan 2005-2020 (PEIT), has set out the guidelines for the working of railway transport services and infrastructure policy for the next few years.

This Plan has an expenditure budget of 248,892 million euros, divided into seven major lines of action, transport by rail, road, air, sea, intermodal, urban and RDI. This Plan is considered to be the largest investment ever planned in infrastructure and transport In Spain.

The most important investment is allocated to the railway, which concentrates nearly 50% of the total (including urban measures). Special mention should be made of 83,450 million euros invested (33.5% of the total) allocated to a High Performance Network extending all over Spain. 18,000 million euros (7.2% of the total) is also allocated to maintenance and improvement of the Conventional State Owned Network.
