Dear customers,
we would like to inform you that the freight traffic is stopped on the line Horní Lideč – Vsetín from 11.01.2022, 14:00 due to damaged basis below the track.
International freight traffic running via the border Horní Lideč / Lúky pod Makytou is affected and need to be re-routed. This will be dealt bilaterally between Czech and Slovak side. The recommended alternative border crossing is Mosty u Jablunkova / Čadca.
Customers that are affected will be kept informed by the IMs.
This survey allows to give direct feedback to the RNE and to point out areas that need improvement in Customer Information Platform. Please use the opportunity to share your experience in this short survey which will only take a minute:
Your opinion is most valuable to the RNE and RFCs!
We are happy to announce that RFC Rhine-Danube published Reserve Capacity for TT 2022, which is now accessible in PCS and ready to be ordered.
The 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. Reserve Capacity TT 2022 is accessible in PCS and 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.
Further details on this product and its benefits can be found on our website and in PCS, including all relevant information on the procedures for requesting and allocating capacity, standard running times and train parameters. The CID Book 4 including the principles of capacity management can be downloaded here.
We are happy to announce that RFC Rhine-Danube concluded its first internationally harmonized Pre-arranged Paths (PaPs) for timetable 2022. The corridor’s cooperating IMs were able to offer a draft and final timetable to all requested dossiers in time, which was finally accepted by the applicants end of August 2021.
We thank our cooperating IMs for their good work in harmonizing paths across several borders and thus facilitating the booking process for our customers, operating along the corridor.
The GDL union has called a strike as part of the collective bargaining with Deutsche Bahn AG. The strike will start 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 (10 August 2021) 𝐚𝐭 𝟕 𝐩.𝐦. in the DB Cargo division and, according to current information, will last until 2 a.m. on Friday, 13 August.
During this time, considerable restrictions are to be expected in rail freight traffic in Germany.
We will keep you informed on our website.
As of 1 August 2021, Zita Koops-Árvai has become the managing director of the Permanent Management Office of RFC Rhine-Danube.
Previously, she spent over 6 years at the Joint Office of RailNetEurope as a project leader in various positions, such as a Senior RFC Manager, and had also worked at the Sales and Customer Relations Department of MÁV before.
Since 4th August 2021, there has been a disruption of rail traffic on the line Domažlice – Plzeň in the Czech Republic due to a train accident. Správa železnic is aiming to ensure operation again from the late afternoon on 6 August 2021.

We will keep posting updates about the evolution of the situation.
The Customer Information Platform (CIP), an internet-based application operated by RailNetEurope (RNE) on behalf of the Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs), has been successfully rolled out to RFC Rhine-Danube. The information concerning this newest RFC is now available in the CIP productive environment under https://cip-online.rne.eu. With this, the CIP now provides customer-relevant information on railway infrastructure in 26 European countries covering the entire RFC Network.
The cornerstone of CIP is an interactive map, which is supplemented by a joint document share point used by all RFCs. The CIP interactive map provides a wide range of information on the rail infrastructure along the routes of RFCs, such as the rail freight-relevant line properties, length of the line sections, ETCS deployment plans and further investment projects. The CIP interactive map also features information about the re-routing options in case of international contingencies appearing along the routes of the RFCs as well as an advanced functionality for route-planning.
In addition to the above, the geographical coverage of CIP is gradually being extended beyond the routing of RFCs, thus covering also the feeder and outflow paths of RFCs’ customers. Moreover, to further improve the experience of CIP users, in early 2021 the graphical user interface of CIP has been upgraded to match the state of the art.
