After the addressee confirms the additional line 2 authority, what must the Dispatcher provide?

When the addressee confirms the additional line 2 authority, the Dispatcher must provide the "TIME" of the addition. This is crucial because the time of the authority indicates when the additional line 2 authority is effective, which is essential for coordinating safe operations on the rail network. Operators need to have an accurate timestamp to ensure that all parties are aware of the exact moment when the authority is active.

Providing the time also helps prevent any misunderstandings or potential safety breaches that could occur if different parties are working with varying understandings of the timeline of authority. Proper communication including the timing helps maintain an organized and safe environment for operational compliance.

While the location of the track involved, confirmation from other dispatchers, and details of prior operations can be relevant in various contexts, they are not as critical as the time of addition, which directly pertains to the effective period of the granted authority.
