Description
This report comprises deliverable D 1.3 from Work Package 1, defined in the contract
documentation as “a report detailing construction and maintenance problems, sub di-
vided into those that are of pan-European relevance and those that are local to a par-
ticular country or region”. The data presented within this report has been collected
from the 17 European railway administrations that responded to a questionnaire ini-
tially formulated following preliminary discussions within WP 1 and amended at the
request of the other WP leaders.
The report discusses the methodology used in obtaining the data, the success in ob-
taining data from those requested to provide information and the reliability of the data
obtained. It then goes on to present the analysed data in outline, supported by a se-
ries of spreadsheets in appendix A2.
The questionnaire used for this data gathering is presented as appendix A1.
Section 5 of this report reproduces a table extracted from the minutes of a meeting of
WP2 held in Malmo in April 2004, which discussed the early survey returns and sug-
gested the appropriate Work Package to deal with the problems identified. The table is
shown here to assist the other Work Packages in reviewing their proposed effort in
relation to the identified needs of the European railways surveyed.
