The infrastructure managers (IMs) are compensated for the services they provide to RUs by train-path charges. The bases for calculating these charges are published in the Track Access Ordinance (NZV) and in the Federal Office of Transport (FOT) ordinance on the Track Access Ordinance (NZV-BAV).
This List of Infrastructure Services (LIS) features the train-path charges for basic and additional services provided on the standard-gauge infrastructures of SBB AG, Thurbo, Sensetalbahn (STB), Schweizerische Südostbahn AG (SOB), BLS Netz AG and Port Railways of Switzerland Ltd. (HBSAG).
The prices listed are net prices in Swiss francs (CHF) and do not include VAT. They are valid for the ordering and execution of operations from 1st January 2020 to 31 December 2020.
The List of Infrastructure Services is available in German, French, Italian and English. In the event of differences of interpretation, the German text shall be deemed authoritative.
Basic services
1Art. 18–21 NZV The basic services consist of the base price, the contribution margin and the electricity price. The price for basic services is set on a non-discriminatory basis by the Swiss Federal Office of Transport (FOT).
Basic services include: train-path use (of the specified quality), including train operating services; ex-catenary power supply; safe and punctual operations, including the telecommunications and IT services required for these operations; use of tracks by the trains in unchanged formation for freight operations; and the provision of platform space for passenger trains, including access to public amenities.
