As infrastructure managers might be required to apply a specific timetable design, a multi-network train service might be subjected to different timetable designs. In light of this but also of other factors, Member States in charge of the infrastructure managers allocating capacity rights for a multi-network train service subject to different timetable designs should coordinate to ensure consistency between their strategic guidance and national requirements. In addition, as different practices for timetable planning are used in Member States, those practices necessitate increased coordination also between infrastructure managers across borders, in particular when infrastructure managers are required to pre-plan capacity by using clock-face timetables.
