increase the amount of information available in the existing site photography book to include street maps etc so that it becomes the major reference manual for train controllers in emergency situations and ensure that such books are made available on all train control desks

Tranz Rail accept this recommendation. Tranz Rail reiterates previous concerns advised to the Commission regarding the absence of comment in the report on the ability of emergency services to pin point the location of Ellerslie station. Suburban stations are local facilities frequently used by the public. Tranz Rail would expect local emergency services to be familiar with access routes.
It is suggested that the Commission further consider a recommendation directed towards the emergency services.
