The Hermes messages allow reducing the number of printed documents required and faster communications. It is a key component of Train Composition messaging system, which is a priority work topic of DG Move within the Issue Log book.

  • Maintains and develops data exchange standards for the HERMES Pre-advice (pre-announce) used for all operational interchange between railway undertakings.
  • Ensures compliance with TAF-TSI train composition messaging between railway undertakings and infrastructure managers
  • Monitors sector-wide implementation for TAF-TSI compliance reporting for TCM Messaging
