Critically evaluate the track maintenance regime for the entire rail network to ensure that track standards are maintained appropriate for the line classification and speed category, and where sections of track are identified as being at risk, put in place appropriate defences until corrective action has been taken.

Tranz Rail accepts this recommendation.

Compliance with the documented track maintenance regime is routinely measured and evaluated by the existing systems for management review and maintenance contract performance auditing. These systems are designed to identify compliance, process and quality issues and ensure they are addressed.
