KiwiRail agrees with the intent of this recommendation. Work is currently underway to renew the Train Control system which will give us the technology to move to a form of hand-held track worker interaction in the future.
The strategy is to deliver a Business Case for this next year to be funded and delivered in the 2025 – 2027 funding period. We will have completed implementation of the new Train Control system by 2025.
