Providing access to railway infrastructure

Providing access to railway infrastructure is performed in accordance with the Act on Railway Transportation and Directive regarding railway in-frastructure accessibility and utilization conditions issued by Infrastructure Minister. The basis for rail-way infrastructure access is a contract concluded with licensed rail operators regarding utilization of allocated railway paths.

The basic product of PKP Polish Railway Lines Company is a timetable sold as a train path in ac-cordance with operator’s order. In 2007 the total of 2 456 464 operations were executed on the basis of:• yearly timetable (YT) prepared in accordance with

the requests of train operators and updated during the YT validity period – 2 271 628 operations,

• individual timetable (IT) prepared by the PKP Polish Railway Lines Company in accordance with train operator’s request for the train path alloca-tion, due to unexpected change of demand for transport services impossible to predict at the time of submitting the request to YT,

• catalogue paths in accordance with parameters adopted by the PKP Polish Railway Lines Com-pany and made to public – 71 698 paths.

In 2007 a total of 5787 international paths were sold due to individual operators’ orders. German

border crossings – 58,8%, the Czech Republic bor-der crossings – 38,2%, Slovakian border crossings – 2,2%, Ukrainian border crossings – 0,7% and Russian border crossings - 0,1% of the total.

The number of Polish operators taking part in international traffic is systematically growing from 8 in 2005, 13 in 2006 to 16 in 2007. In order to sim-plify utilization of international rail paths ordered in an individual timetable mode, One Stop Shop (OSS) system was implemented.

The scale of provided services concerning ac-cess to railway lines is measured in operational work expressed in train-km (t-km). In 2007 a total of 228,26 million t-km were performed: including 137,49 million t-km in passenger traffic and 90,77 million t-km in freight traffic.

In 2007 the following events took place:• decrease by 1,07% of total volume of operational

work in comparison to 2007, including 1,06% drop in passenger traffic, and 1,1% drop in cargo traffic,

• increase of share of freight operators from outside PKP Group in volume of work executed by all freight operators from 12,9% in 2006 to 16,02% in 2007.

Share of operational work by operators and train types in 2007 is presented in diagrams.

Railway lines winter protection

Snowfalls, low temperatures and strong winds during the winter time, hamper utilization of railway tracks trafficability and damage buildings, railway constructions and facilities.

In order to clean out winter consequences and moderate unfavorable weather conditions on railway infrastructure, special equipment and snow-removal machines are used and a large volume of labour is involved. PKP Polish Railway Lines Company has at its disposal around 17000 people, snow-removal ma-chines including heavy-duty machines: 20 snow-re-moval units, 95 snowplows and 50 rotary snowplows.

Over 18000 of railway turnouts is equipped with stationary electric heating devices. In order to protect turnouts from freezing, temperature-proof grease is used.

150 special working teams are involved for repair of superstructure damages and defects of rail traffic control devices.

PKP Polish Railway Lines Company carries on snow-removal works on railway platforms, footbridg-es and pedestrian crossings. Overall area of the objects exceeds 5 millions m2.

Railway lines of strategic and public importance are subject to special protection during unfavorable weather conditions which hamper railway traffic. Railway lines were divided into three groups in main-tenance priority. The first group is 13,2 thousand km of railway tracks which are cleared of snow, the next one is 3,9 thousand and the last one is 10,5 thou-sand km.

Annual Report 2007

On 1st October, 2007 Rail Traffic Control Center changed its name to Rail Traffic Management Center taking over the entire process of preparation im-plementation and documentation of the basic rail infrastructure manager’s product, that is a timetable. Railway Traffic Management Center has taken over from regional departments of the Company all tasks regarding preparation and implementation of annual, substitutional and individual timetables. To ensure smooth development of timetable construction proc-ess and a high quality of a final product, Rail Traffic Management Branch offices set up three timetable construction teams: • Basic team to prepare the foundation of timetable

and its update in compliance with changing trans-port demand or transit capacity.

• Closure team to elaborate substitutional timetable for rail traffic organization during modernization proc-ess as well as maintenance and preservation works.

• Current operation team elaborating a round the clock individual timetable to satisfy current require-ments of rail operators.

In connection with numerous modernization and necessary maintenance works it is our duty to ac-

commodate the timetable to traffic capacity during track closures. To secure investment and mainte-nance processes without any disruption in rail traffic it is necessary to provide due rail movement and introduce a substitutional timetable to be in force till the end of performance of works. The entire process of timetable construction is agreed upon and trans-ferred rail operators throughout the time to enable its introduction and execution. The timetable prepared under Traffic Diagram Construction (TDC) is passed on electrically to Operational Work Record System (OWRS). The entire process of implementation and documentation to be carried out dispatcher team of Rail Traffic Management Center begins from this moment. Financial calculations and settling accounts for train path allocation are carried out basing on the information introduced into OWRS system issue, especially during the time of investment implementa-tion and disruption arising from it.

Length of Railway lines

The greatest reduction of operated railway lines took place from 1990 to 2001. After 2001 this proc-ess significantly slowed down and in 2007 for the first time operations on certain lines were restored.

The size of operated railway infrastructure has been systematically adapted to varying transporta-tion needs. As of 31st December 2007 PKP Polish Railway Lines Company operated the following rail-way infrastructure components:• 18 993 of railway lines (i.e. 36 934 km of tracks),

including:– 27 580 km of main and running lines– 9 354 of station tracks

• 43 905 turnouts, including:a) 18 470 turnouts in main and running tracks,– 25 435 turnouts in station tracks

• 16 291 rail-road level crossings (including 2890 level crossings of category A)

• 25 639 engineering objects• 7 004 buildings• 11 230 rail structures.

Railway infrastructure condition due to insuf-ficient financial means to be dedicated for its renew-als has systematically worsened. The comparison of timetable speed changes in individual timetables is presented on diagram.

Timetable speeds decrease in consecutive time-tables did not influence a reduction of speed limits or their lengths. At the end of 2007 a total of 7501 speed limits on the distance of 3967,618 km were imple-mented (including main and running tracks on stations – 5259 speed limits on the distance of 3212,285 km). Due to a poor infrastructure condition 5238 speed limits on the distance of 3232,765 km were introduced (including main and running trucks – 3238 speed

limits on the distance of 2534,697 km). The main reasons for decreasing timetable speeds and intro-ducing spot speed limits are:1. operations on sleepers with outdated life period

(detailed data is presented in table No 1),2. backlogs in adapting engineering objects to

changing operational parameters with regard to speeds and permissible load.

Backlogs in repair and modernization of engi-neering objects resulted the following: • 19 engineering objects (i.e. 0,1%) were out of

operations because of their technical condition obstructing railway traffic safety,

• 148 engineering objects (i.e. 0,6%) are threatened with being out of operations within the next 12 months (i.e. till the end of 2008),

• 858 engineering objects (i.e. 3,3%) were operated with restrictions: speed, load capacity, loading gauge. These objects require repair and restora-tion works which will renew original operational parameters,

• 1087 engineering objects (i.e. 4,2%) are threat-ened with restrictions to be introduced by the end of 2008 resulting in anticipated change of their technical condition that may have an impact on railway traffic safety.

Technical condition of railway infrastructure con-dition has a direct transposition on: maximal speeds, axle load and line pressure on individual lines. Com-parison of maximum construction speeds (construc-tion speed is a speed to which a specific railway line section was designed to) is presented in table No 2.

Organization and Maintenance Office has been placed in the Headquarters of PKP Polish Railway Lines Company organizational structure since 2007. This office is responsible among others for plan-ning of maintenance works of track superstructure, development of principles works commissioning, monitoring their fulfillment and machinery opera-tions management. The office also cooperate with Rail Transport Authority with regard to rail vehicle certification and documentation approval. This of-fice arranges rail technical rescue, technical support in emergency situations and coordinates remove consequences of these treats. Other duties to be performed by the Office are: organization and supervision of dangerous goods transit and fire protection. The Office performs the lease of high-performance machines for track works and provides rail technical rescue services to different business entities. The Office closely cooperates with Chief Command of State Fire Bridges and its branch of-fices. Jointly with State Fire Brigades it undertakes measures to improve safety on rail facilities and areas which are under administration of PKP Polish Railway Lines Company. The Office organizes com-mon training courses on rail structures belonging to PKP Polish Railway Lines Company. It participates in national and international rescue training pro-grams. The team of rail technical rescue are highly

specialized professionals. In 2007 13 employees received medals “Fire Fighting Man of Merit”.

In PKP Polish Railway Lines Company there are 24 teams of rail technical rescue. They are located in such a way as to secure the most important railway lines and junctions. They have at their disposal rail cranes, rail-road vehicles, tracked tractors with plat-forms, self-propelled rescue trains and supply wagons with equipment for technical rescue opera-tions. Moreover the rail technical rescue teams, pro-vide their services for PKP Group Companies and for other entities (against due payment).

In PKP Polish Railway Lines Company rail tech-nical rescue vehicles are used also (without hamper-ing their rescue capability) for off-rail works. In 2007 PKP Polish Railway Lines Company constructed its third self-propelled technical rescue train on the ba-sis of motor trolley WM 15 which was put into service in Railway Lines Plant in Katowice. It is additionally equipped with disposable devices for off-rail works; snow mill, shrub and tree branch cutter, shears to cut grass mill brushwood rotator scoop loose mate-rials, especially useful to remove dump from rails (coal, coal etc.).

On 1st July, 2007 a resident instruction on rail technical rescue Ir-15, which, among others, deter-mines the method and proceeding in case of actions of removing the affects of rail accidents and inci-dents on the lines which are administered by PKP Polish Railway Lines Company.

Rail Infrastructure Diagnostic

94 95


Diagnostic activities of the Centre cover the whole of rail network administered by PKP Polish Railway Lines Company including the following ar-eas:• Diagnostic measurements of permanent way

and civil engineering premises Diagnostic center performs measurements of track

geometry using rail motor car EM120 During the diagnostic ride the following param-

eters are registered:- track axis rectilinearity,- curvature symmetry and transitional curvature,- rail gauge (track clearance),- longitudinal (profile) and transversal track slope

(cant),- level distinction of track run on preset distance

(track warp). The Diagnostic Center owns and operates a rail

motor car UPS-80 for measurement of structure gauge. The motor car uses digital photogrammet-ric pictures taken during the drive and laser range-finder measurements. The machine has been operated by Rail Infrastructure Diagnostic Center since 2007. One of the first tasks performed by the UPS-80 motor car was measurements after recon-

structing a railway tunnel in Warsaw. The Diagnos-tic Center owns also a Volvo inspection car for civil engineering premises surveying. It allows the pre-cise analysis and assessment of bridge structures technical condition.

• Permanent way flaw detection tests Flaw detection is used to find rail and turnout com-

ponents discontinuities, cracks, losses and hetero-geneity by using ultrasonic waves. The next step in flaw detection tests is defect measurement and risk assessment threatening railway traffic safety. Flaw detection tests are performed by using a special rail motor car and manual track cars with flaw detection apparatus.

• Railway welding PKP Polish Railway Lines Company, Railway

Diagnostic Center in Warsaw besides its regular activities is providing the following track welding services:- making rail joints by pressure welding on station-

ary facilities and in the track as well as thermite welding,

- regeneration of rail permanent way by means of rebuildng steel components.

General supervision the welding quality is carried out by highly qualified inspectors who perform the following tasks:- training and examination of welding personnel,

supervisors and companies,- elaborating, improving and implementing new

technological processes regarding railway compo-nents welding,

- welding material quality inspection.Diagnostic Center supervising inspectors carry out acceptance procedures of track superstructure ma-terials at the manufacturers’ premises, that is:- rails in national and foreign steel plants and rolling

mills,- railway turnouts and track crossings of all types,- concrete-block and steel tie-bar sleepers and

switch sleepers,- turnout sections.Track superstructure diagnosing laboratory works on the following issues:- examining the technical properties of steel ele-

ments of track superstructures and welding prod-ucts,

- tests of welding joints in order to examine new technologies and welding materials for implemen-tation in PKP Polish Railway Lines Company infra-structure system.

• Rail network descriptionThe main task in this field is collecting data, mak-ing accounts and reports on technical condition of rail infrastructure components as well as economic analysis of costs of repair and maintenance and expenditure for operated railway lines. Diagnostic Center employees take part in works on creation of integrated rail infrastructure management system (ZSZ) by setting up GIS-RAIL – operational railway infrastructure base associated with Enterprise Re-source Planning (ERP).

Annual Report 2007

The rail traffic safety issues concerning traffic as well as accident statistics across the Company’s rail network, are subject to follow the regulations of the directive No 2004/49/WE of 29th April, 2004, which had been implemented in the national regula-tions, since 2005. One of the effects of change then introduced is taking over general control over these issues by the new independent government organ, that is the Railroad Accidents Investigation State Committee. Investigating serious railroad accidents (catastrophes) as well as controlling the post-ac-cident railroad committees, consisting of railway company representatives and rail operators, lies within its competence. The Committee carries out explanatory proceedings and cases of the widely understood accidental statistics, among others the qualification of accidents and rail incidents.

In PKP Polish Railway Lines Company, the appropriate organ for such cases is the Main Inspec-torate of Rail Traffic Safety and all the railway lines plants take direct part in organizing the operation of post-accident committees participating in the opera-tions as well as creating an accident data base.

In 2007, there were 960 accidents within the area managed by PKP Polish Railway Lines Company. This number embraces of three types of accidents: 470 accidents related to people con-nected with the railway, 274 collisions with road ve-hicles at the level crossings. 216 accidents include collisions (10), derailments (198), fires inside the rail vehicles (7), other (1).

The number of accidents of railway lines caused by outsiders deserves special attention. These are first of all pedestrians crossing the railway line in places not adjusted to it (a tiny number of accidents of this type occurs at rail-road level crossings), pas-sengers jumping into or out of trains and road vehi-cle drivers. These persons caused 733 accidents across the PKP Polish Railway Lines Company network. The above accidents account for as much as 77% of total number of accidents over the period considered. Their effects caused a lot of disruption in the rail traffic. They also bring about vast material

loss to the property of the rail infrastructure manager as well as to the property of rail operators. Let’s illus-trate the railway accidents by presenting this picture.

This picture documents just the material loss. Unfortunately in these types of accidents, casualties are a tragic consequence. In 2007 a few very dan-gerous accidents that took place at the level cross-ing, resulting at the same time in many casualties, caused a great increase of casualties as compared to 2006. Similarly, a significant increase in casual-ties connected this time with the increasing number of accidents resulting each time in casualties, has been noted in the accidents connected with people group. In 2007 a total of 302 persons died in ac-cidents connected with people related to trains and 166 persons were injured in rail-road crossing ac-cidents (97% it was driver’s fault), 48 persons died and 106 persons were injured. In other accidents related to collisions and derailments 1 person was killed and 3 injured.

These accidents are a serious problem not only for PKP Polish Railway Lines Company. The solution of this problem will unfortunately not be possible to materialize within our own efforts. Close collabora-tion of many entities is needed, the more so when the number of such accidents is constantly increasing.

General statistical data

The main role of rail traffic control facilities and systems is secure the safety of rail traffic, maintain traffic fluency and maximize railway lines capacity. Wide application of IT techniques into automatic and control systems construction results in user-friendly operation. Besides, the systems enable full auto-diagnostics ensuring high operational reliability and maintain constantly high level of traffic safety. Rail traffic control facilities and systems can be divided into three basic functional groups. These are: sta-tion devices which are installed on stations and traffic control posts, line-side equipment regulating train traffic on railway lines and level crossing traffic safety devices. Computer aided rail traffic control fa-cilities and systems are installed in 52 control areas which keep under their control 1194 switches and 1348 light signals. Remote control systems cover 494,1 km of railway lines and 40 railway stations grouped into ten local control centers. Such sys-tems are applied at 720 level crossings. Line blocks installed on 16 083 km of railway lines ensure rail

traffic safety. This number covers 13 381 km of rail-way lines equipped in manual blocks and 2701 km – in automatic blocks including 382 km of lines with computer aided blocks. Among 2965 line blocks au-tomatic gaps, 540 gaps covering 512 km of railway lines are equipped with independent telediagnosis systems which provide full record of all occurrences and technical and operational parameters of the sys-tems. Dynamic development and implementation of rolling stock brake-down detection devices (DSAT) determines a new direction of ensuring a high level of train movement safety. 152 sets of these facilities are deployed along main railway routes in the vicinity of large railway junctions. DSAT facilities remotely detect and warn about rolling stock emergency situations which may become a cause for railway accidents. These devices ensure also journey com-fort, minimize degradation of railway superstructure condition and are an important component of rolling stock.

Natural Environment Protection

112 113


In 2007, Natural Environment Protection Office continued, among the other issues, solving tough and costly problems concerning natural environment protection in various investment processes.

Passages for animals

The most relevant and newest investment project in PKP Polish Railway Lines Company was a con-struction of two passages for big animals over E 20 line on the Rzepin – state border section within lubuskie province. Several accidents involving big mammals in this location initiated a construction of the two passages. The location of passages was chosen in accordance with a study prepared by en-vironment protection team with cooperation of State Forestry and Polish Hunting Union representatives in which areas intensive animal migrations were speci-fied (km 466, 788 and 470, 199). These bridges enable wild animals living in the Rzepinska forest to safely cross the line. The so called ground-layer bridge structures made of steel corrugated sheet were used because of their fast assembly that guar-antees maintaining traffic flows. The viaducts are shaped to single span arc with stone paved portals so they become a part of landscape. Steel structure is resting on reinforced concrete foundations. The passages are 40 meters wide in the narrowest point and have 20 meters span. Top slope of access paths to passages is no more than 10%. Animal guiding fences were installed along the access paths and a railway line. Moreover, wooden acoustic and anti-glare screens were installed in the passages. In or-der to evaluate effectiveness of the project, isolation greenery will be planted and monitoring system will be installed. Overall value of the investment (design, construction, supervision) was 5.1 million Euros.

112 113


Noise protection

Construction of acoustic screens was the sec-ond important ecological investment. Apart from that acoustic maps were created for the following sections with increased traffic intensity exceeding 60000 transits a year: railway no. 1 Zawiercie – Łazy, railway line no. 9 and 260 Pszczólki – Prószcz Gdański. The maps help to estimate the number of people exposed to excessive noise. They will soon become available on the PKP Polish Railway Lines Company official website. The Company has been cooperating with the Warsaw Municipal Government Office to create an acoustic map of Warsaw. In order to do this it was necessary to collect data regarding railway traffic intensity, selected rolling stock pa-rameters and infrastructure condition. Moreover, rail grinding has been carried on in order to extend track life and reduce noise level.

Air protectionObsolete heating systems were replaced by

more efficient ones (oil, gas and electric heating) and a number of boiler houses were closed link-ing the buildings with city heating systems which resulted in smaller negative impact on the quality of air. Apart from that, in order to limit heat losses a number buildings were thermally insulated and win-dows were replaced. Also light bulbs have been re-placed with new energy-saving ones (this has been going on since 2005).

Ground and water protection

PKP Polish Railway Lines Company implemented a variety of safety devices within modernization of rail-way lines that is: geofabrics, ditches, settlers, sewer-ages, etc. Additionally, the Company has taken a very quick response in the two major emergency situations.

On 19th February 2007 in Swarzędz, on line no. 352: Swarzędz – Poznań Starolęka, around 80 tons of mazout flowed out. Thanks to a prompt rescue action and efficient cooperation with the State Fire Service and Swarzędz municipality which resulted in collecting all the mazout and securing it against further spreading out, it was possible to save nearby ponds and an apiar-ian heritage park from contamination. A specialized company, that has already proved to act professionally

during an accident in Mialy, has decontaminated and secured the area. Finally in June 2007, the decontami-nation action was successfully finished, bringing back the natural environment to the initial condition.

On 8th December 2007 on the line no. 151: Kędzierzyn-Koźle – Chalupki around 47 tons of ethyl-obenzene leaked out as a result of rail accident in the vicinity of Stare Koźle. Rescue workers quickly secured the contaminated zone with fire foam and pumped the liquid out of the two damaged tankers. Also a contract has been signed with a specialized company which will perform hydrogeological researches and carry out reclamation works.

Preservation of historic monuments

PKP Polish Railway Lines Company permanently modernizes the railway lines. At the same time the Company pays close attention for appropriate or-ganization of works and applies special equipment to protect the national heritage. For example: the railway line Warsaw West – Okęcie was specially marked up to pass around remaining tsarist fortifica-tion (fort Zbarż) in Warsaw, a shelter in Boleslawiec on the E 30 railway line was renovated in accord-ance with directions given by Heritage Conservator, a beautiful, historic platform shelter in Skierniewice was secured by a special construction which was a part of the line: Warsaw – Widzew Lódz moderniza-tion project.

Seminaries and conferences

On 17th July, 2007 in Rzepin, a special seminar was organized to discuss the issue of migration cor-ridors: “Construction of two overpasses for animals over railway tracks of E 20 line, section: Rzepin – state border.

On 13th and 14th November 2007, PKP Polish Railway Lines along with Polish Association of Engi-neers and Technicians of Transportation organized a scientific – industrial conference “Investments on protected areas”. The participants were discussing legal, environmental and technical issues regard-ing animal protection with reference to railway lines modernization and analysis of overpasses construc-tion on the section: Rzepin – state border.

International partnership

International partnership is one for PKP Polish Railways Company priority tasks. It complies with the European Union transport policy and is directed at two basic areas:• Development of bilateral relationships with rail

infrastructure companies in other countries, mainly with Poland’s neighbors,

• Active participation in the works of various interna-tional organizations, connected railway transport.

Liberalization, technical harmonization, as well as a recently started discussion about harmonization of financing principles and charges for access to rail infrastructure within the EU transport system, are the basis for creating new regulations within neighbor-ing countries.

Bilateral cooperation

Cooperation with neighboring railway adminis-trations, especially with DB Netz AG (Germany), ČD/SŻDC (the Czech Republic), ŻSR (Slovakia), UZ (Ukraine), BC (Belarus), LG (Lithuania) and RŻD (Russia) was continued.

With regard to modernization of border bridges at the western border of Poland, concerning negotia-tions an intergovernmental agreement have been completed. PKP Polish Railway Lines Company experts participated actively in these negotiations. The agreement is to be signed in the first quar-ter of 2008. Our experts also participated in the preparation of government agreements regulating border crossing railway transport. They took part in, among others, the new draft agreement between the Republic of Poland and the Russian Federation concerning railway transport through borders as well as in the analysis of the first version of the agree-ment with the Federal Republic of Germany sent to the Ministry of Infrastructure. A draft of a trilateral government agreement, regulating railway transport and maintenance of infrastructure on the Hradek n. Nissou – Zittau line, crossing through the Polish ter-ritory, was sent to the Ministry in August.

The PKP Polish Railway Lines Company experts assisted during the talks concerning the government agreement on maintenance of railway bridges at the Poland-Belarus border.

Taking into consideration the revision of the inter-governmental agreements as well as the Minister’s directive on providing access to railways lines within the Polish railway network, talks between rail infra-

structure managers, concerning new regulations of railway border agreements between Poland and the Czech Republic as well as Poland and Germany, were completed in 2007. These agreements came into force at the beginning of 2008. As the new agreement concluded between PKP Polish Railway Lines Company and ČD/SŻDC came into force, a process of local border agreements (LBG) for spe-cific border crossings with the Czech Republic was initiated. Updating of LBG for the Chałupki-Bohumin border crossing started in the second half of the year.

Joint works concerning local border agreements, safety of running trains within border areas, coordi-nation of modernization works, improvement of train punctuality at border crossings as well as current op-erational issues, were also conducted. Discussions with the Slovakian, Belarusian infrastructure manag-ers are being continued as well as contacts have been established and preparations made for talks with Lithuanian, Russian and Ukrainian railways.

In the mid 2007 an update to the agreement with Spanish rail infrastructure manager (ADIF) was prepared, directing the cooperation the area of high speed trains, PPP projects and modern employee training methods. The new agreement will be signed during the upcoming meeting of presidents of the two railway admin stations in the first quarter of 2008 and its execution is strictly connected with the imple-mentation of high speed trains in Poland.

Establishing cooperation with Chinese railways was a very important event in the area of bilateral contacts. Following the Memorandum of coopera-tion between China’s Ministry of Railway and Po-land’s Ministry of Transport in the area of railway transport of May 2007, President of PKP Polish Railway Lines Company signed in Pekin on 11th September, 2007 a letter of intent with China’s Direc-tor General of International Cooperation Department of Ministry of Railways.

The document declares the intention of establish-ing the cooperation in the area of rail infrastructure management and development.

116 117


Cooperation with international organizations

The representatives of PKP Polish Railway Lines Company actively contributed to public consultations of the European Commission as well as participated in works of international railway organizations such as: International Union of Railway (UIC), the Com-munity of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER), Organization of Cooperation of Railways (OSZD) and Rail Net Europe.

EU strategy for implementation of European Rail-way Traffic Management System (ERTMS) was car-ried out within the framework of the working group, dedicated to the studies of the corridor F (Warsaw-Berlin-Duisburg), in which our Company is a leader to report the results directly to the European Com-mission. Basing on very good cooperation with our Ministry of Transport, the national plan of ERTMS implementation was elaborated as well as due ef-forts were made to have the letter of intent signed by the Polish and German Minister in October with view to manual collaboration connected with implementa-tion of the system.

PKP Polish Railway Lines Company was in-volved in preparations to implement the TAF TSI system (Telematic Application for Freight). The system is to ensure a permanent exchange of infor-mation about the trains between the infrastructure manager, the operator and the customer. In Janu-ary an international seminar was held on Technical Standards for Interoperability – Telematic Applica-tions Freight (TSI TAF). The Seminar adopted a declaration on the set-up of TAF Steering Committee – Poland. The Committee, which began its activi-ties in February 2007, presented to its members in December the first results of its work on E 20 railway line. These works are also continued in association with the, TAF UIC Steering Committee which was established in the middle of the year for development of common components for information exchange within the EU countries.

Works on the European Rail Infrastructure Mas-ter Plan (ERIM), representing a common standpoint of the railway sector in the field of the present condi-tion and further development of the European rail infrastructure were completed. The ERIM project stresses the necessity to make use of the existing rail infrastructure more effectively and puts forward the problem of insufficient financing for European railway transport in relation to road transport.

The project is addressed to the European Com-mission and other European institutions in order to persuade them to long-term planning and allocation of adequate financial support for rail infrastructure. Under this project, a PKP Polish Railway Lines Com-pany expert coordinated the works of the Group East (Poland the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia), concerning a detailed economic analysis of determined transit arteries.

In order to further propagate and explain the Schengen issues to railwaymen and representatives of government inspection organs, working within the area of rail border crossings (continuation of UIC Schengenrail project), activities within the Safety Platform working group –“Schengen achievements versus illegal immigration” set up after the seminar in November 2006 in Lublin, are continued. PKP Polish Railway Lines Company is a leader of this group, in compliance with UIC proposals. The action plan of the working group involves:• More intensive activities in countries which have

become EU members.• Technical preparation of the rail border crossing

areas for the Schengen border code (KGS – in force since 13th October, 2006), specifying de-tailed procedures on movement of people within the Schengen border areas.

• Issues connected with crossing the border by railway personnel when performing their duties: that is loco drivers, agents of rail operators, ticket inspectors etc.
