The Common Interface File (CIF) format is the industry standard for transfer of schedules electronically from Network Rail's Integrated Train Planning System (ITPS) to downstream operational and information systems.
The CIF file is a text file containing one record per row. Each record has a fixed length of 80 characters. The first two characters of a row identify the Record Type.
Record Types
- HD - Header record
- TIPLOC Records
- TI - TIPLOC Insert record
- TA - TIPLOC Amend record
- TD - TIPLOC Delete record
- AA - Association Records
- Train Schedule Records:
- BS - Basic Schedule
- BX - Basic Schedule Extra Details
- TN - Train Specific Note (unused)
- LO - Origin Location
- LI - Intermediate Location
- CR - Change en Route
- LT - Terminating Location
- LN - Location Specific Note (unused)
- ZZ - Trailer record (End of File)
Specification
- RSPS5046 Timetable information data feed interface specification (PDF) (Rail Delivery Group specification based on the Network Rail specification)
- Common Interface File (CIF) End User Specification Version 29 (PDF) (original Network Rail specification)
