Details about the capacity strategy

The capacity strategy serves as an instrument for communication, consultation and coordination. It provides information on the main expansion projects as well as the relevant temporary capacity restrictions. It is published three years before the timetable change (X-36). The capacity strategy relates to the entire ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG network. The capacity model is based on the capacity strategy.

The capacity strategy is published annually on this website. At European level, there is a consolidated capacity strategy, the “Common Capacity Strategy”, which is published on the RNE website.
