Relief facilities
Service to be supplied by the IM to the RU under DIRECTIVE 2012/34/EU, Annex II, 2. (h) as one of the SERVICES TO BE SUPPLIED TO THE RAILWAY UNDERTAKINGS.
EU legislation seems to provide no definition, but this service would probably include areas, equipments and infrastructure used to overcome a disruption (derailment, collision or other accidents), such as: a railway crane to remove a fallen tree or large branch from the track, a tow locomotive to pull a defective train, a specially-equipped wagon or a specially-equipped relief team.
