We intend to work closely with KiwiRail with an aim to implementing and closing these recommendations as soon as practicable.
Discussions on them will commence on publication of the report and will be ongoing. Any outstanding Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) recommendations also form an integral part of our annual safety assessments of the rail industry.
When these discussions are concluded and the appropriate evidence has been gathered, we will be liaising with TAIC with a view to closing this safety recommendation.
