Rules for Path Alteration by the IM In case of any train traffic disturbances caused by a technical breakdown, a railway accident, unfavourable weather conditions or any other unforeseeable situation, CFR may take all the necessary measures to resume the normal situation. At the same time, it notifies the interested bodies. The notification and investigation of the railway accidents and incidents shall be performed in accordance with the Regulation on accident and incident investigation, and for developing and improving the railway safety, approved by means of GD No. 117/2010. https://rne.eu/wp-content/uploads/HB_Path_Alteration_3.0_2023-05-31.pdf

Principles In emergency cases temporarily blocking the infrastructure, the allocated train paths may be cancelled without prior notice, for the period of time necessary for resuming the traffic. CFR may require the RU to make available the means which it considers adequate for resuming the normal situation as soon as possible, in accordance with the conditions set out in the access contract, and in the regulations in force. In such cases, CFR establishes together with the RUs involved the alternative traffic routes, whereas the IAC is levied for the direct initial route.

Unforeseen Issues In case of any train traffic disturbances caused by some unforeseen issues (such as accidental line closing), the provisions of the instructions in force apply for resuming the traffic.
