In respect of 039/06, following receipt of your preliminary safety recommendation Veolia has opened discussions with Toll NZ Ltd (as fleet maintainers) over the best way to achieve an integrated fault recording and management process. You will appreciate that the Loco 54D book must be retained in some form because it is essential that any Locomotive Engineer who climbs on to a train must be able to see what faults (if any) have been logged by the previous drivers. The principal issue, therefore is to devise an efficient way to duplicate the Loco54D entries into a computer-based system.
It is expected that decisions should be made and implemented by 30 June 2007.
