- that each work phase covers at least a period of 21 calendar days,

- on average, over the entire work phase, at least four services per seven calendar days.

If the senior official imposes a work phase that does not meet the criteria described above and that this non-compliance is attributable to the proper organization of this market (non-availability of clippings, supervisor ...), Infrabel will take into account charges the return transfers of the works train by rail in Belgium for this phase of works.
