Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify urban passenger requirements and resources
  • 1.1 Passenger usage patterns, specific bookings and external events likely to influence passenger numbers are monitored and applied to urban passenger train consist planning
  • 1.2 Requirements for carriages and motive power units for urban passenger trains are adjusted in light of passenger demand
  • 1.3 Train crewing needs and/or constraints are identified to ensure consists are compatible with available resources
  • 1.4 Passenger usage patterns are monitored and train configurations are adjusted in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 1.5 Shunting and marshalling requirements are identified for planned consists in accordance with timetable requirements
  • 1.6 Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented
2 Plan connections with other passenger services
  • 2.1 Train timetables are compared with timetables from other passenger services for coordination purposes
  • 2.2 Passenger flow patterns for related services are checked to ensure smooth flow patterns
  • 2.3 Modifications to existing timetables are made to ensure mutually supporting passenger services are achieved where possible
  • 2.4 Suitable passenger transit holding areas between services are identified and included in plan
  • 2.5 Timetable reviews and passenger flow issues are discussed with appropriate external passenger service providers
3 Plan consists for urban passenger trains
  • 3.1 Consists are planned, taking into account the need to move passengers efficiently within constraints of carriage availability, motive power availability, personnel availability, track layout, track condition, gauge and weight
  • 3.2 Details of urban train consists are forwarded to yard and terminal operations for planning purposes
