This recommendation is accepted. KiwiRail has raised an Engineering Change Request to review the AKL TMS alarm, and this is now underway. The review considers alarm duration, alarm volume and ability of the system to distinguish between event types. The scheduled timeframe to complete the review and introduce improvements is the end of 2025.
