Operational Rules
The Engineering Access Statement (EAS) and the Timetable Planning Rules (TPR) are collectively referred to as the Operational Rules.
EAS
The EAS describes the rules regulating the arrangements for engineering access to the rail network. It sets out the location, number, dating and duration of possession access (restrictions of use), which we require to deliver inspection, maintenance, renewal and enhance work activities to the infrastructure.
TPR
The TPR regulate the standard timings between stations and junctions together with other matters enabling trains to be scheduled into the working timetable for the various parts of the main rail network.
