Network access conditions.

In order to operate on our track network* as an RU, you need a track access permit, safety certification from the Federal Office of Transport and a track access agreement with us as infrastructure manager (IM).

Please note the sub-page on vehicle utilisation under your safety certificate

The track access agreement is used to govern the business relationship between you as RU and us as IM. It is a standard agreement.

The key components of the agreement are:

  • SBB’s General Terms and Conditions for the use of railway infrastructure (GTC-IM)
  • the Network Statement
  • the IM’s List of Infrastructure Services

The terms of use and track access for our track network are published in the form of the European Network Statement. Each timetable year has its own Network Statement.
