Capacity Booking
Benefits for Single Wagonload customers and railways
The Xrail Capacity Booking (XCB) initiative enables a more seamless, reliable and transparent international Wagonload, benefitting the customers as well as the Xrail Alliance partners before, during and after the transport.

Before transport
- Solid provision of a reliable, planned Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)
- Possibility for customers to secure capacity for international transports in advance
- Better visibility on upcoming international volumes allows the railways to have better prognosis on network utilization
During transport
- More reliable execution of booked transport plans especially for international, long-distance transports
- Enhanced status updates, e.g. information about a new, planned ETA in case of deviations
- Improved, unified Track & Trace solution available for international transports
- More stable and leveled-out network operations
After transport
- Xrail provides valuable statistics as basis for a continuous improvement process within the Xrail Alliance enabling a more reliable European Wagonload
