ACCESS TO THE HS/HC NETWORK
This part of the document provides some indications for planning transport services on the HS/HC network. Therefore, considering that the new HS/HC lines are characterised by:
a standard speed of 300 km/h; the ERTM-S Level 2 safety system; a traction current of 25,000 V (alternate current);
in order not to jeopardise the full exploitation of the quality and quantity potential of these HS/HC lines, during the daytime, generally between 6.00 and 22.00, which is the characteristic period of HS operation, only speeds of up to 250 km/h will be allowed. Lower speeds will be allowed only on the limited sections specified in the ePIR portal.
