Tranz Rail accept this recommendation. A specific holiday period contingency plan and Call Out list process has been developed and used by Transfield Services over the most recent summer holiday period. Call out lists are located with the 155 Call Centre and are updated weekly.
The 155 call out system covers the need (see preliminary report clause 2.9.3) for the Call Out list of appropriate staff to be distributed and up to date at all times.
