The process description for Train Running and for handling the Service Disruptions between neighbouring IMs and with contracted RU were made. Messages to be exchange during these processes were deeply analysed and their content and structure was agreed between the working group members.  Working group is now continuing on writing the Implementation Guideline, explaining in details all the results of the working group.
