Operational points of the Infrabel network

Division of the railway network according to the characteristics of the infrastructure and the operational possibilities.This list includes the location, but also the different official names of the operational points, as well as a classificationImportant:These operational points must be analysed together with the data on line sections as they represent the start and end points of the sections. (Their identification numbers are given in this dataset.)The purpose of these data is to allow schematic representations of the Belgian railway network (and this for a scale of max. 1/25,000). This explains, among other things, why the location of stations is not always accurate, as a single position for the largest stations in our country represents up to almost 3 km of platforms.These data are also published in the European Register of Railway Infrastructure.You will find below the description of the different designations that appear in this dataset:Symbolic name: This term is used in the telegrams and in the communication between the different IT systems.Code TAP/TAF: official European designation according to the rules for freight and passenger transport in Europe. TAP: "Telematics Applications for Passenger Services" and TAF: "Telematics Appplications for Freight". More info on the RailNetEurope site. Abbreviations BVT: The official abbreviation in print in Dutch and in French as mentioned in the network reference document, part D. Book of train service Official designations: short, medium, and long; shown as they can be used in a text or an e-mail. The internal classification (at Infrabel) of these items is also quoted.
