Polish term or phrase: kierunek parzysty
i nieparzysty


Każda linia kolejowa ma wyznaczony przez Ministerstwo Transportu punkt początkowy i punkt końcowy. Na wykresach ruchu pociągów punkt początkowy linii lub odcinka znajduje się w górnej części wykresu, a końcowy w dolnej. Dla linii rozpoczynających się w Warszawie punktem początkowym jest Warszawa. Dla pozostałeych linii Ministerstwo wyznacza na ogół jako punkt początkowy ten z dwóch możliwych punktów linii, który znajduje się bliżej Warszawy.
Ustalenie punktu początkowego pozwala na linii jednotorowej ustalić kierunek uprzywilejowany, którym jest kierunek nieparzysty, czyli kierunek jazdy wzdłuż linii od punktu początkowego do punktu końcowego. Przeciwieństwem kierunku nieparzystego jest kierunek parzysty, czyli kierunek jazdy od punktu końcowego do punktu początkowego. Ustalenie to ma ważne znaczenie w razie całkowitej przerwy łączności, gdyż w kierunku uprzywilejowanym na posterunek zapowiadawczy można - po spełnieniu określonych warunków bezpieczeństwa ruchu - wyprawić pierwszy pociąg dla nawiązania porozumienia pisemnego z sąsiednim posterunkiem zapowiadawczym.

Nieparzysty = odd

Albo wg. systemu brytyjskiego DOWN (odd) i UP (even)

In France, railway directions are usually described as Impair and Pair (meaning Odd and Even), corresponding to Down and Up in the British system. Impair means heading away from Paris and Pair means heading toward Paris. This convention is applied not only to the trains and the tracks, but also to items of lineside equipment.

In British practice, railway directions are usually described as up and down, with up being towards a major location. This convention is applied not only to the trains and the tracks, but also to items of lineside equipment and to areas near a track. Since British trains run on the left, the up side of a line is on the left when proceeding in the up direction. The names originate from the early railways, where trains would run up the hills to the mines, and down to the ports.

On most of the network, up is the direction towards London. In most of Scotland, with the exception of the West and East Coast Main Lines, up is towards Edinburgh. The Valley Lines network around Cardiff has its own peculiar usage, relating to the original meaning of traveling up and down the valley. On the former Midland Railway up was towards Derby. Mileposts normally increase in the down direction
