Updates of the annual timetable in 2010:
The annual timetable (both for freight and passenger traffic) does not stay unchanged during its period of validity. Applicants place requests in the running timetable which concern either the start of new train services or modifications (cancellation and new requests) to already existing train services. Hence it is necessary to make regular updates and the timetable is updated and published at specific dates. The dates are applicable for the running Timetable 2010 according to every Infrastructure Manager's/Allocation Bodies process.Publication of Timetable Updates in 2010:
Editorial deadlines

Editorial deadlines 2011:
It is always possible for applicants to place path requests during the period of validity of the running timetable. However, in order to allow time for a harmonised publication and update of the IMs’ systems, there are editorial deadlines specifying the time limits for accepting path requests; by complying with these deadlines, applicants secure the inclusion of their paths in the next publication of the timetable update. Naturally, this does not stop information from being given to customers before publication, and this does not stop trains from running. Paths requested after the editorial deadline can only be included in the subsequent official publication – i.e. the update after the next timetable update.
