Temporary Capacity Restriction (TCR) recommendations For the main border points of RFC NSM
In order to limit the impact on traffic, IM’s will do their best to offer alternative routes in case of works on the principal routes crossing the main border points. For this purpose, IM’s set up the following recommendations:
→ Route 1 (color blue): defined as the preferred one (on corridor sections)
→ Route 2 (color green): 1st option (can be entirely or partially on corridor sections)
→ Route 3 (color orange) : 2nd option (can be entirely or partially on corridor sections)
Legend
RECOMMENDATION
If the works on “ Route 1” do not allow the trains to cross the considered border point, the IMs will do their best efforts to keep one of the 2 routes ( “Route 2” or “Route 3” ) free to allow the trains to cross the border by going around the works.
IM’s will do their best efforts to extend their existing national rules to an international level by paying a special attention to the corridor sections crossing the border points.
Temporary Capacity Restriction (TCR) recommendations MOUSCRON
Due to the very complex track plan around Lille, there are many scenarios applying within the French side of the network. They are described in the map below (page 3)
Route 1 : Mouscron - Tourcoing – Armentières –Hazebrouck – Calais
Route 2 : via Mouscron – Tournai – Baisieux
Other recommendations :
• Mouscron & Blandain/ Baisieux should not be closed at the same time.
• When the section Courtrai - Mouscron is closed ‰ rerouting via Jeumont or Feignies

Route 1 : Namur - Dinant – Aubange – Mont Saint Martin
Route 2 : Via Aulnoye & Artère Nord -Est
Route 3 : Namur - Libramont – Arlon
Recommendations :
• Even if Namur – Libramont - Arlon is the official alternative route on RFC NSM, RU’s prefer run on Artère Nord-Est as an alternative (the tonnage supported is different on route 3).
