New Zealand Railways Corporation (NZRC) intend to implement this recommendation.
A fixed date cannot be supplied for full implementation of this recommendation, however we are currently working through a timeframe for this to occur.
On 8 August 2005, ONTRACK advised:
During readout of Track Warrants the Train Controller will be required to confirm the clause 3 'to location' from a selection menu in TWACS. The selected location must match the location selected when the track warrant was prepared. The readout process cannot continue until this action has been successfully completed.
ONTRACK plan to implement this change by the end of September 2005.
