Common use of Train length Clause in Contracts

Train length. The Train Operator may, in making a Train Operator Variation Request to operate a Service under this contract, request to operate the maximum train length in metres which the relevant part of the Network can from time to time accommodate. Network Rail shall not unreasonably reject such request, subject to a right of Network Rail to vary the train length in cases where the Network cannot accommodate all requests to operate to the maximum length. Nothing in paragraph 3.4 precludes the operation of trains in excess of platform lengths where appropriate measures have been taken to control, so far as is reasonably practicable, any risks introduced by the use of such longer trains.
