Aviation and rail: operating-document dossiers · France / Switzerland
Train paths: requested capacity and allocated charges
A train-path dossier connects the requested route and timetable with the capacity actually allocated. French and Swiss network documents and charges must be identified for the relevant service period. Compare dates, requested and allocated times, decision reasons and like-for-like tariff components. The tool measures supplied differences and totals only; it does not forecast the network price or decide entitlement to capacity.

What route, dates, timing and service characteristics were requested?
France: preserve route, operating dates, requested times and train characteristics from the actual application. Switzerland: retain the same supplied service particulars; include timezone offsets so that local time labels are not mistaken for comparable instants.

Which timetable year and infrastructure-manager document govern the request?
France: identify timetable year, infrastructure manager and the relevant network-statement version. Switzerland: identify the network and service period under the applicable allocation framework. A publication date or latest downloaded file is not automatically the effective date of every charge.

Train-path request and allocation reconciliation
Choose the country and enter requested and allocated instants with timezone offsets, then supplied charge components and versions. The result compares departures and totals entered amounts in one currency. The initial records are synthetic.

For each row, the same path and timing point. Minutes difference equals allocated instant minus requested instant; positive means later. Charges are supplied, not calculated from a tariff.

| Preparation question | Point to verify |
|---|---|
| Which timetable year and infrastructure-manager document govern the request? | France: identify timetable year, infrastructure manager and the relevant network-statement version. Switzerland: identify the network and service period under the applicable allocation framework. A publication date or latest downloaded file is not automatically the effective date of every charge. |
| What route, dates, timing and service characteristics were requested? | France: preserve route, operating dates, requested times and train characteristics from the actual application. Switzerland: retain the same supplied service particulars; include timezone offsets so that local time labels are not mistaken for comparable instants. |
| Which paths or capacity were actually allocated? | France: compare the request with the allocation notice and later amendments. Switzerland: LCdF 9a concerns a path defined in time and space; requested capacity, an offered alternative and a path actually allocated remain distinct documentary states. |
| How are conflicting requests, coordination and refusal reasons recorded? | France: connect competing requests, coordination messages and communicated reasons with each affected path. Switzerland: preserve the actual allocation-service correspondence and reasons; the worksheet does not invent a cause for a refusal or decide competing access rights. |

Which official provision helps explain this situation?
A train-path dossier connects the requested route and timetable with the capacity actually allocated. French and Swiss network documents and charges must be identified for the relevant service period. Compare dates, requested and allocated times, decision reasons and like-for-like tariff components. The tool measures supplied differences and totals only; it does not forecast the network price or decide entitlement to capacity.
Which tariff version, service unit and charge components apply to the supplied figures?
France: associate each supplied charge with component, currency, service unit, period and tariff version. Switzerland: LCdF 9c provides the relevant path-charge framework, but this tool only totals supplied amounts; it does not derive a statutory tariff or determine the payable bill.

What changed between requested and allocated times or routes?
France: the tool subtracts the supplied requested instant from the supplied allocated instant in minutes. Switzerland: the same comparison is documentary arithmetic. A later departure gives a positive result; route changes, other conditions and compensation remain separate questions.

Which framework agreement or amendment affects the request?
France: retain framework agreement, annexes and dated amendments relevant to the request. Switzerland: identify the actual agreement and its allocation-period scope as well; an agreement’s existence does not automatically establish priority or allocation of every requested path.

What unresolved allocation or charging issue should the evidence dossier identify?
France: identify the precise timing, route, version or billing discrepancy and the two supporting records. Switzerland: do the same for the competent allocation or charging contact. An arithmetic difference supports an enquiry but does not decide a remedy or an entitlement.

Which preparation steps come first?
Editorial preparation order, not a popularity or success-probability ranking. Prioritise the correct-period network document, then request and allocation evidence; compare tariff components after those records agree.
Identify network, timetable year and version
Successive documents may govern different periods. This scope check precedes comparing times or charges taken from unlike reference sets.

Preserve the precise request and time references
Route, dates and timezone offsets establish the comparison base. Without them, a later proposal can be mistaken for the original request.

Connect allocation decisions and coordination
The actual notice and amendments show the capacity granted. They distinguish a proposal, a timing change and a documented refusal.

Attach each charge to its tariff evidence
Currency, service unit, period and version stay with the supplied component. Only then can totals be compared without inventing an applicable price.

Frame the unresolved allocation or billing question
Show the discrepant records and the explanation sought. The calculation does not substitute for the competent body’s decision or determine compensation.
