This recommendation is Under Consideration. Transdev Wellington will review the training of locomotive engineers in the context of the recommendation to link the emergency brake to operation of emergency radio button to alert train control. As noted in the report, our training allows the locomotive engineer to decide if an emergency notification to train control is warranted as they are in charge of the train and understand the context of emergency brake use.
