Re-routing option

A re-routing option is an alternative route that may be taken in a situation of a disruption to reach the same destination. The used term in the ICM handbook is not linked to the term “alternative route” as defined in Article 3 (9) of DIRECTIVE 2012/34/EU (Recast): “another route between the same origin and destination where there is substitutability between the two routes for the operation of the freight or passenger service concerned by the railway undertaking”, because easy substitutability cannot be ensured.
