Capacity Booking
Capacity Booking for Wagonload
Seamless bookings of loaded and empty wagons on capacity-checked trains enable better network control and optimization. Managed capacities are the basis to develop a more efficient, reliable and thus sustainable Wagonload offer.
The Xrail Capacity Booking (XCB) initiative
- The Alliance partners have decided to make an industry change for European Single Wagonload by implementing domestic capacity-managed networks and connecting these via a central broker system
- The initiative enables seamless international Wagonload booking across all members' networks, facilitating a significantly more competitive European Wagonload offer
- Agreed common processes, rules and quality levels ensure full interoperability and a strong quality standard for international Wagonload booking
- All Xrail partners have meanwhile connected their capacity booking systems via the Xrail Capacity Booking Broker
