Either invoke Section 6F (1) of the Transport Services Licensing Act 1989 or, alternatively, procure changes to legislation or, alternatively, by any other process you judge suitable, ensure that the approved safety system for all operators operating on the principal lines, loops and sidings of the national rail network includes a requirement for a train control voice-recording facility and a train control radio log capable of being downloaded for analytical purposes.

The voice recording facility and radio log should meet or exceed the quality and standards produced by equipment currently used by Tranz Rail and should be capable of recording such voice channels as internal and external telephone lines and all train control radio channels and of recording and retaining relevant data for a period of 2 weeks.
