Redirecting under easier conditions
When rerouting under easier conditions , the information about a possible rerouting and its identifying feature are incorporated into the operational timetable documents in order to simplify the rerouting of the train operations over a parallel route in the event of construction work and operational disruptions on railway lines. Where rerouting is not permitted under simplified conditions, a timetable notification is required to provide the timetable information .
The driver is informed about the diversion by a direction indicator , another position of a main signal or an oral notification and can see the changed route and corresponding alternative stops from the timetable.
