  • Attachment 1 Wellington Regional Rail Strategic Direction 2020.Pdf
    WELLINGTON REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2020 Where we’ve come from Rail has been a key component of the Wellington Region’s transport network for more than 150 years. The first rail line was built in the 1870s between Wellington and Wairarapa. What is now known as the North Island Main Trunk followed in the 1880s, providing a more direct route to Manawatū and the north. Two branch lines were later added. The region has grown around the rail network, as villages have turned into towns and cities. Much of it was actively built around rail as transit-oriented development. Rail has become an increasingly important way for people to move about, particularly to Wellington’s CBD, and services and infrastructure have been continuously expanded and improved to serve an ever-growing population. The region is a leader in per capita use of public transport.

  • Report 01-107 Passenger Express Train 201 Derailment Otaihanga
    Report 01-107 passenger express Train 201 derailment Otaihanga (near Paraparaumu) 6 June 2001 Abstract On Wednesday, 6 June 2001, at about 1841, express passenger Train 201 Overlander derailed when a wheel on the leading axle of the trailing bogie of the power van fractured as the train approached Otaihanga Road level crossing near Paraparaumu on the North Island Main Trunk. There were no injuries to train crew or passengers and damage was limited to the trailing bogie of the power van. The safety issue identified was the suitability of the wheel set for use in passenger rolling stock. As a result of the actions taken by the operator following this incident, no safety recommendations are included in this report.

  • Report 00-101 Train Control Incidents Hi-Rail Vehicles and Trains Occupying
    Report 00-101 train control incidents hi-rail vehicles and trains occupying the same section of track and a collision various localities 17 December 1999 – 5 September 2000 Abstract On 17 December 1999, an incident occurred near Greymouth where a locomotive engineer was given permission by train control for his train to enter a section of track already occupied by a hi-rail vehicle. The driver of the hi-rail vehicle saw the train and was able to off-track in time to avert a collision. On 17 January 2000, train control gave permission for a group of hi-rail vehicles to on-track near Paerata in front of a passenger express train. The train collided with one of the hi-rail vehicles and pushed it some 300 m along the track. The hi-rail vehicle, which was unoccupied at the time, was destroyed in the collision. Another 2 incidents occurred where train control gave permission for trains to enter sections of track occupied by hi-rail vehicles: one on 14 February 2000 near St Andrews, and one on 5 September 2000 near Woodville. Neither of these 2 incidents resulted in collisions. Given the similar issues arising from each incident, all 4 were combined into this one report. Safety issues identified included: · the repeated non-adherence to basic train control techniques taught during training and covered by procedures in the operating code · inadequate auditing and assessment of train controller performance · train controllers not using, nor being required to use, signal “blocking commands” as a defence against them issuing conflicting instructions to track users · the potential for train controllers to report for duty when not fit to do so.

  • Council Meeting Held on 14/05/2020
    Date 11 May 2020 Ministry of Transport PO Box 3175 WELLINGTON 6140 Attn: draft Rail Plan team Dear Sir / Madam Draft New Zealand Rail Plan 1. Thank you for the opportunity to submit on the Draft New Zealand Rail Plan(DNZRP). General 2. Council generally supports the proposals but would like to take this opportunity to raise issues of relevance to Kapiti Coast District Council. 3. The Kāpiti Coast has seen significant growth in the last 30 years and our population predictions identify that this trend is expected to continue. Population growth and rail investment has led to the passenger rail boardings on the Kapiti line increasing by almost one million over five-year period between 2014 and 2019. 4. Between 2016 and 2019 overall patronage on the Kapiti Line increased by 11.3% (or 609,607 trips), and 72% of this growth has come from passengers in the Kāpiti Coast. Over the same 4-year period there has been a significant increase in passengers alighting at stations in Kāpiti including Waikanae (+61%), Paraparaumu (+68%) and Paekākāriki (+48%). 5. Council contends that this, along with the growth proposed in Kāpiti, demonstrates that there is significant potential to encourage further rail passenger growth if improved services and infrastructure were provided, particularly to the north of Waikanae and on to Palmerston North. It will also address transport issues such as congestion and parking. Of relevance is that some of the parking issues in Waikanae, around our rail station, are being caused by commuters travelling from Ōtaki and further north to catch rail services from Waikanae as a result of the limited Capital Connect service.
