* {{Attr|arrival}}: arrival time; 
** not to be specified if the attribute {{Attr|ocpType}} of the parent {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}} has the value ''pass'' - use {{Attr|departure}} for run-through (passing) times;

|semcon={{semcon|'''Semantics and restrictions of the attribute {{@|scope}}'''<br>The attribute {{@|scope}} is used to distinguish different {{TT:Tag|times}} elements at the same parent {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}}. Typically, they refer to different planning stages: While 'scheduled' and 'published' are later planning stages and 'actual' is probably the latest because the train is already running, 'earliest' and 'latest' are early planning states because they define something like the "first idea" of the timetable of a train.<br>&nbsp;<br>Therefore, the following semantical constraints apply:<br>
* All elements {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}}.{{TT:Tag|times}} with the same {{@|scope}} of the same {{TT:Tag|trainPart}} define the same planning stage and are therefore semantically linked equally and shall be consistent.
* It must be accepted that elements {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}}.{{TT:Tag|times}} with different {{@|scope}} are not necessarily consistent between each other: A train may be ordered for a “wished” time but not all those requests may be fulfilled. A train may be planned to a certain time but may run to a different (later or earlier).
* When {{@|scope}}&#61;'actual' is used, the higher level operating period and/or timetable period of the train(part) shall refer to only one certain operating day. It must be clarified semantically the actual times of which actual operating day (if more than one) are mentioned.
* {{@|scope}}&#61;'Earliest' and 'latest' are intended to define a "wish" of a customer in the use case of "slot ordering": The customer likes to order a slot with the earliest departure at... or with the latest arrival at... Therefore, 'earliest' and 'latest' are related to early planning states because they define something like the "first idea" of the timetable of a train. When addressing a wish of an earliest departure or latest arrival, this makes sense only at the very first / last {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}} and implies to give only one {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}} with {{TT:Tag|times}}. All other {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}}s may be given to define the wished route but do only make sense without {{TT:Tag|times}}. Otherwise, it must be clarified semantically how any objections between concurring earliest/latest times of the same train are to be understood. Another use case 'earliest' and 'latest' can be used for is timetable simulation. 'Earliest' and 'latest' can be used here to either specify the input for a simulation or as output of a simulation run to transfer the results to a subsequent scheduling tool.

{{Deu|Das attribute {{@|scope}} wird verwendet um verschiedene {{TT:Tag|times}} Elemente am selben übergeordneten Element unterscheiden zu können. Typischerweise beziehen sich die Werte auf unterschiedliche Zustände des Planungsprozess: Während 'scheduled' und 'published' sich auf späte Zustände des Planungsprozess beziehen und 'actual' den vermutlich spätesten - da der Zug zu in diesem Zustand ja bereits unterwegs ist - , beziehen sich 'earliest' und 'latest' auf frühe Planungsphasen, da sie eine erste Idee des Fahrplans eines Zuges darstellen. Entsprechend gelten folgende semantischen Abhängigkeiten:<br>
* Alle {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}}.{{TT:Tag|times}} Elemente mit dem selben {{@|scope}} des selben {{TT:Tag|trainPart}} beschreiben die gleiche Planungsphase, sind entsprechend semantisch verknüpft und müssen demzufolge in sich konsistent sein.
* Es muss akzeptiert werden, dass {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}}.{{TT:Tag|times}} Elemente mit unterschiedlichen Werten für {{@|scope}} untereinander nicht konsistent sein müssen. Ein Zug mag bei der Trassenbestellung für eine bestimmte Zeit bestellt sein, allerdings kann es sein, dass dieser Wunsch nicht erfüllt werden kann, und der Zug zu einer anderen Zeit fährt.
* Wenn {{@|scope}}&#61; 'actual' verwendet wird, muss die übergeordnete operating period und/oder timetable period des train(part) nur einen einzelnen Betriebstag referenzieren. Es muss festgelegt werden, auf welchen Betriebstag sich die erfassten Ist-Zeiten beziehen.
* {{@|scope}}&#61;'Earliest' und 'latest' werden im Use Case Trassenbestellung verwendet um die gewünschte Zeit für den Zug zu beschreiben: Der Kunde möchte eine Trasse mit der frühesten Abfahrt an X oder der spätesten Ankunft an Y bestellen. Entsprechend beziehen sich 'earliest' und 'latest' auf sehr frühe Planungsphasen, bei denen eine erste Idee eines Zugfahrplans ausgetauscht wird. Bei der Beschreibung einer solchen Idee macht es nur Sinn am ersten oder letzten {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}} {{TT:Tag|times}} anzugeben. Das impliziert auch, dass nur für einen einzigen {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}} Zeiten angegeben werden sollten. Alle anderen {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}} können angegeben werden um die gewünschte Route zu definieren, sind aber nur ohne angegebene Zeiten sinnvoll. Anderenfalls müsste erklärt werden, wie Widersprüche zwischen unterschiedlichen 'earliest' und 'latest' Angaben des selben Zuges zu verstehen sind. Ein weiterer Use Case, bei dem 'earliest' und 'latest' zum Einsatz kommen können ist Fahrplan Simulation. 'Earliest' und 'latest' können hier verwendet werden, um entweder die Eingangsdaten für eine Simulation zu beschreiben, oder aber die Ergebnisse der Simulation an ein Fahrplanplanungstool weiterzugeben.}}|status=proposed|proposed=2019-06-19|id=TT:010}}

===Semantics and restrictions of the attribute {{Attr|scope}}===
'''Please note''' that 'earliest' and 'latest' are ''not'' intended to encode the "slot" every timetable has by its supplement: They are not to be used as a redundancy to {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}}.{{TT:Tag|sectionTT}}.{{TT:Tag|runTimes}}.{{Attr|operationalReserve}}, {{Attr|additionalReserve}}, {{Attr|minimalTime}}. It is a matter of course that every timetable defines a "slot" of times rather than an exact time - 'run time' is a random variable in a physical sense – so to express this volatility, use the above mentioned attributes of the element {{TT:Tag|runTimes}}.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
      <trainPart id='tp_1' >
        <operatingPeriodRef ref='opp_once_a_day'/>
        <ocpsTT>
          <ocpTT sequence='1' ocpRef='ocp_A' ocpType='stop'>
            <times scope='earliest' departure='16:30'/>
            <times scope='scheduled' departure='16:31:18'/>
            <times scope='published' departure='16:30'/>
            <times scope='actual' departure='16:39:10'/>
          </ocpTT>
          <ocpTT sequence='2' ocpRef='ocp_B' ocpType='pass'>
            <times scope='scheduled' departure='16:38:02.46'/>
            <times scope='actual' departure='16:45:27'/>
          </ocpTT>
          <ocpTT sequence='3' ocpRef='ocp_C' ocpType='stop'>
            <times scope='latest' arrival='16:55'/>
            <times scope='scheduled' arrival='16:49:12.46'/>
            <times scope='published' arrival='16:50'/>
            <times scope='actual' arrival='16:56:02'/>
          </ocpTT>
      </trainPart>
</syntaxhighlight>
The train part '''runs from ocp_A via ocp_B to ocp_C'''. Originally '''there was an order''' saying the train shall leave ocp_A at the earliest at 16:30 hours and shall arrive at ocp_C not later than 16:55 hours. Only the use case can clarify whether the time difference between 16:30 and 16:55 ''must'' be greater than the actual minimum run time or which priority applies in case of any discrepancy.

The train '''was scheduled''' to leave ocp_A at 16:31:18, to pass ocp_B at 16:38 and to arrive at ocp_C at 16:49. But, the '''published''' departure time at ocp_A was 16:30, so one minute earlier than scheduled and just in time of the 'earliest' limit. The published arrival was 16:50, so rounded up to the next full minute, probably to be “on the safe side”.

Finally, the train '''did actually leave''' ocp_A at 16:39:10, so 8 minutes late (even 9 mins related to the published time). It did pass ocp_B at 16:45, still 7 mins late and did arrive at ocp_C at 16:56, also 7 mins late. So, it did fail to reach the “latest” arrival limit – we have to accept a discrepancy between ‘latest’ and ‘actual’ at ocp_C. The {{TT:Tag|operatingPeriodRef}}='opp_once_a_day' of the {{TT:Tag|trainPart}} must clarify to which certain day the actual times refer.

===Handling midnight overruns/{{deu|Umgang mit Mitternachtsübergängen}}===
{{main|TT:Midnight_overrun|How to indicate midnight overruns in railML}}
The attributes {{Attr|arrivalDay}} and {{Attr|departureDay}} are a counting of the number of midnight overruns relatively to a reference place (e. g. departure, see below). These attributes are optional with default value 0, e. g they do not have to be written as long as a train didn’t run over midnight. But, after the first run over midnight, they must be written with values >0. 

It is intended that the arrival/departureDay counting starts with 0 at the first '''departure''' of a '''train'''. Therefore, the value -1 can occur in rare cases of an arrival before the first departure (“arrival from nowhere”, from outside the scope of the railML file). In case a train did already run over midnight before the first departure in the railML data, this first {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}} may also have an arrival/departureDay >0.

If a <train> consists of several <trainPart>s which are sequentially linked, the day counting normally refers to the first departure '''of the whole <train>'''. So, it may happen that single <trainParts> already start with day counting >0.

A “back-jump” of the day counting may happen especially from the view of a commercial train (<train> with type=’commercial’): This means that the train first refers to <trainPart>s which did run over midnight and later refers to <trainPart>s which did not run over midnight.

{{Deu|Die Attribute {{Attr|arrivalDay}} und {{Attr|departureDay}} stellen eine Zählung der Anzahl Mitternachtsübergänge relativ zu einem Bezugspunkt (s. u.) dar. Diese Attribute sind optional mit Default-Wert 0, d. h. sie müssen solange nicht angegeben werden, solange ein Zug noch nicht über Mitternacht gefahren ist. Nach dem ersten Mitternachtsübergang, d. h. sobald ihr Wert >0 ist, sind sie jedoch anzugeben.}}

{{Deu|Es ist vorgesehen, dass die Tages- bzw. Mitternachtszählung (arrival/departureDay) an der ''ersten Abfahrt'' eines Zuges mit 0 beginnt. Demzufolge kann der Wert -1 vorkommen bei der ersten Ankunft im seltenen Fall, dass der Zug am ersten Bahnhof über Mitternacht steht und zuvor „von außerhalb“ kommt. Sollte der Zug bereits vor dem ersten abgebildeten Abfahrtsbahnhof – quasi „im Ausland“ – über Mitternacht gefahren sein, darf diese erste {{TT:Tag|ocpTT}} ebenfalls einen Tagesindex (arrival/departureDay) >0 aufweisen.}}

{{Deu|Wenn ein Zug aus mehreren (zu aufeinanderfolgenden Abschnitten verketteten) Zugteilen besteht, bezieht sich die Tageszählung i. d. R. auf den ersten Abfahrtsort des Gesamtzuglaufs. Bei einzelnen ''Zugteilen'' kann es also vorkommen, dass diese bereits mit Tageszählung <nowiki>>0</nowiki> beginnen.}}

{{Deu|Wenn Zugteilläufe (in railML: {{Attr|commercial}} {{TT:Doc|train}}s) von einem Zug auf einen anderen übergehen, kann es zu einem „Rückschritt“ der Tageszählung von <nowiki>>0</nowiki> auf <nowiki>=0</nowiki> kommen. Dies bedeutet, dass Zugteillauf von einem Zug, der bereits über Mitternacht gefahren ist, übergeht auf einen Zug, der noch nicht über Mitternacht gefahren ist.}}
