We are happy to announce that Reserve Capacity (RC) for timetable 2025 is now published and accessible and ready to be ordered via PCS.
Reserve Capacity is our product for new recurrent business needs and ad-hoc traffic within the running timetable and consists of remaining capacity in the running timetable. RC can be requested up to 30 days before the first day of operation on all corridor sections. Once your request is submitted, the C-OSS will provide you on behalf of the involved infrastructure managers with an internationally harmonized path offer until 10 days before the first running day at the latest.
RC is provided as a contingent of capacity slots for international freight paths per day/section (flexible approach) as well as pre-defined catalogue paths at cross-border sections constructed from the remaining capacity.
Due to partial integration of RFC Orient/East-Med into RFC Rhine-Danube, our RC offer has now been extended to the following lines as well.
