Tranz Rail does not accept this recommendation.
This already appears as Rule 194(b) [see note below] of the rules and regulations. The operator in question had, on a number of occasions, been accompanied through the area - this is how route knowledge is gained.
[TAIC note: probably refers to incorrect rule, actual Rule 199(b) at that time, now replaced by Rule 916(b) as from 18 June 2001]
