Cancellation of a train (train cancellation)
Cancellation of a train (train cancellation)
The 'cancellation of a train' concerns a train that is already running. As a train cancellation does not lead automatically to a (partial) path cancellation and vice-versa, it is important to distinguish in the 'train running phase' between a 'partial path cancellation' and a 'train cancellation':
- train runs from A to B, ends its journey at B and does not continue from B to C at all:
* train is cancelled, path is partially cancelled
- train runs from A to B, stops its journey at B and does not continue from B to C at all, but another train uses the path scheduled from B to C:
* only the train is cancelled
- train runs from A to B, and then to E via D, instead of via C:
* path is partially cancelled (B – C – E), but train is not cancelled.
