Tranz Rail do not accept this recommendation. A recommendation that changed "with an experienced train controller or similarly qualified person" to "with experienced operating and/or maintenance personnel" would be acceptable. This suggested change is prompted by Tranz Rail’s firm belief that Train Controllers are best to have field visits with experienced field practitioners
