Train path
A train path is the infrastructure capacity needed to run a train between two places over a given time-period. In Europe, a train operator needs to purchase a train path from a rail infrastructure company to run a train on their tracks. The number of rail paths available on a given railway line is dependent on a number of factors. The number of tracks and the type of signalling, specifically the number of blocks, are limits set by the actual infrastructure. A variable factor is the speed difference between trains. Optimal capacity is achieved when all trains run at the same constant speed. Otherwise faster trains will eventually catch up to slower trains, so trains have to be spaced further apart to minimize interference. Usually, train operators apply for train paths over a given period several months before the start of the period. After a deadline has passed, the rail infrastructure company uses all applications to create the working timetable. A number of rail infrastructure companies have defined different classes of train paths. More expensive classes are treated with priority during timetable construction and operation. If a train's delay exceeds a certain tolerance, it may "fall out" of its train path. On congested lines, this may result in additional delays, as such a train is taken to passing sidings whenever necessary to let other trains pass.
