for work to be done in this manner without affecting Train running, however,at times,
some delays may arise from reducing speed through or around the work site.

Trains arriving or /departing from Richmond Station or North Melbourne
Station between 0701 hours and 0930 hours; or
Trains arriving or /departing Richmond Station or North Melbourne
Station between 1501 hours and 1900 hours.
(ii) Total Track Occupation and All Lines Closed
A Total Track Occupation is a Track Occupation of all tracks, or the track on
single lines, with no alternative route around the work site.
(iii) Diversion
A Diversion occurs when Track Occupations occur in multiple track areas,
(i.e. 2two or more tracks) where alternative routing can be set up around the
work site using unaffected adjacent tracks.
(iv) Re-routing
Re-routing occurs when it becomes necessary to operateTrainstrains via an
alternative rail corridor to reach their normal destinations. This may arise
from a Track Occupation closing all lines or where there is insufficient track
capacity to divert allTrainstrains past the work site, hence requiring some
Trainstrains to be re-routed.
6.2.6.Booking Out (Non Occupation)
This process is applied for urgent or short notice work and involves the supervisor of
the works arranging with signallers to re-route Trains or to prevent Trains proceeding
whilst works are in progress.
In each case the impact to Services will vary and where a Track Occupation is
necessary the impact will depend on any specific conditions which may apply to the
Track Occupation.
