System rules

Status
In progress

The system rules provide details of the processes and systems used to plan and schedule train services within the Central Queensland coal network (CQCN). These rules are in addition to the principles described in Aurizon Network’s access undertaking (UT5). The access undertaking also allows Aurizon Network to review system rules at least once a year and, where required, to identify improvements and propose amendments.
