The railway is part of the trans-European high-speed rail network (TENS) and completes the high-speed international route between London and Paris, and London and Brussels. Domestic passenger trains also use the railway (between Ashford / Ebbsfleet HL and St Pancras International), providing a much improved commuter service between London and Kent. The railway is capable of carrying freight traffic. It was constructed in two phases: Section 1: between the Channel Tunnel at Cheriton and Southfleet Junction; including connections to the existing Ashford International Passenger Station and a connection from Southfleet Junction to Fawkham Junction provided to allow international Eurostar services to access the existing Waterloo International Station (prior to the completion of Section 2 and the opening of St Pancras International Station), Section 2: between Southfleet Junction and St Pancras International Station; including new International Stations at Ebbsfleet and Stratford, and with connections to the existing East Coast Main Line, North London Line, West Coast Main Line (via North London Line), North Kent Line, Ripple Lane freight yard and a new maintenance depot situated at Temple Mills. The new railway is subject to the EC Directive 96/48/EC of 23rd July 2003 regarding the interoperability of the European TENS routes and the supporting Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSls). As a consequence it is mandatory under the Directive for the HS1 Infrastructure Manager (see §0.1) to provide a Register of Infrastructure (the Register) defining the main characteristics of the line. A Register was originally prepared to consider Section 1 of the HS1, which was brought into commercial service on the 28th September 2003. This document represents the Register for the second phase of the railway, Section 2 of the HS1, being brought into commercial service on 14th November 2007. Technical Files have been prepared relating to Section 2 of the HS1; these define the conformity of the new railway with the relevant TSls: ~ Infrastructure (INS) Subsystem (Reference 1) ~ Energy (ENE) Subsystem (Reference 2) ~ Control, Command and Signalling (CCS) Subsystem (Reference 3) - 5 R-SG-NC-00002-17-HSO HS1 Ltd HS1 (Section 2) Register of Infrastructure R-SG-NC-00002-17-HSO Revision 01, Date 15 July 2009 Page 6 of 90 The Register makes reference to the Infrastructure, Energy, and Control-Command and Signalling TSls regarding which characteristics, basic provisions or other information should be included. Any derogation that may apply is described. 0.1. Ownership of the Register The Register is compiled and owned by the Infrastructure Concession Holder of Section 2 of the HS1: HS1 Ltd 73 Collier Street LONDON N19BE It is however maintained and updated on behalf of the Infrastructure Owner by the Infrastructure Manager in accordance with a Railway Services Agreement. The address of the Infrastructure Manager is: Network Rail (CTRL) Ltd Singlewell Infrastructure Maintenance Depot (SIMD) Henhurst Road Cobham, Gravesend Kent DA123AN The first issue (revision 00) is dated 1ih August 2007, being issued within days of "authorisation to place into service" on 31 st July 2007 by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR). The date of commencement of commercial service was 14th November 2007. The Register will be reviewed annually from the issue date given on the document coversheet, and amended as, and if, appropriate. This is the first revision of the Register to take note of changes since opening of Section 2 of the railway. 0.2. General Information As indicated in the TSls the Register shall allow: ~ the Member State responsible for granting authorisation
