The highlights of the revised plan include: The introduction of additional East-West and corresponding return services Additional wagon resources to facilitate double stacking ex the PLT Flexibility on the East coast when additional capacity is required The Peak Plan will be effective as of 6th October 2019 and is attached to this advice for your information (note all changes have been highlighted) Any further updates will be published in the Customers page on the AHG RL website Should you have any further queries or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact your state Customer Service team or Account Manager.

  • Pacific National
    Pacific National Submission to the Economic Regulation Authority on the Review of the Western Australian Railways (Access) Code (2000) March 2005 Legal\100081618.3 1. Executive Summary and Outline 1.1 Executive summary The purpose of the review is to assess how effectively the Code meets the objectives of the CPA. The objective of access regulation is to promote efficiency and the CPA seeks to do this, relevantly in the case of rail, by ensuring: • the efficient use of natural monopoly infrastructure; • the efficient investment in natural monopoly infrastructure; and • promoting competition in activities that rely on the use of infrastructure services where it is uneconomic to develop alternative facilities. Pacific National's experience as an access seeker or access provider in virtually all jurisdictions in Australia means it is well placed to provide information about whether the Code meets the objectives of the CPA. Pacific National believes there are several key areas where the Code does not meet the objectives of the CPA as effectively as it could:- (a) Level and structure of access charges Inducing competition in dependent markets is one of the fundamental aims of the CPA. However, the approach taken to the calculation of ceiling prices in Western Australia permits very high access charges to be set by WNR. This ability presents the possible risk of an access provider setting access charges high enough to deter competitive entry in the haulage of freight on the intrastate network. No above rail competitor has been able to enter the Western Australian intrastate network where competing haulage services have been sought by customers for minerals haulage.

  • Pacific National Submission QCA
    11 July 2019 Mr. Charles Millsteed Chief Executive Officer Queensland Competition Authority GPO Box 2257 Brisbane QLD 4001 Submitted via QCA online portal Dear Mr. Millsteed Draft Decision – Queensland Rail’s 2020 Draft Access Undertaking Pacific National (PN) welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission to the QCA’s Draft Decision (Draft Decision) on Queensland Rail (QR)’s 2020 Draft Access Undertaking (2020 DAU). While the 2020 DAU proposed limited changes to its current undertaking (2016 AU), PN’s November 2018 submission did not support the majority of these changes due to an inappropriate risk shifting from the network to rail operators. Accordingly, PN agrees with the Draft Decision to not approve the 2020 DAU. PN is strongly of the view QR has not sufficiently justified that its 2020 DAU has had appropriate regard to the QCA approval criteria in s. 138(2) of the Queensland Competition Authority Act (QCA Act). The overarching objective of Part 5 of the QCA Act is the importance of promoting competition in upstream and downstream markets (s. 69 E). Rail freight transport has significant inherent benefits for the economy and community relative to road – to quantify in terms of positive externalities, moving freight by rail (instead of road) generates benefits for society of around 1.45 cents per tonne kilometre. Conversely, moving freight off rail incurs 14 times greater accident costs and produces 16 times more pollution per tonne kilometre. The QCA Act is very clear in listing matters which the QCA must have regard to when deciding whether to approve the 2020 DAU under s.138(2).

  • Austrailia Railroad
    Australia: Railroad Equipment Australia: Railroad Equipment Page 1 of 6 John Kanawati 08/200 9 Summary The Australian railroad industry generates about US$ 5 billion in goods and services, or 1.7 percent of the nation’s total output. The market for railroad equipment is valued at US$ 915 million and will grow by five percent annually over the next three years. Despite the world economic crises, demand for railroad technology is being fueled by Australia’s buoyant minerals industry, an industry structure which encourages investment by ma jor operators, and the Federal Government’s economic stimulus plan. Rail reform has increased the number of private rail operators from ten in the 1990s to thirty today . C ontracting out has created new work for rail maintenance and engineering firms. U. S. -based consortia have been among the successful bidders for government -owned rail assets and t he presence of more private rail operators has increased pressure to upgrade and refurbish existing state -owned and managed infrastructure. Following the priva tization of many federal and state gove rnment rail assets between 1995 and 2002, the industry has recently emerged from a period of inevitable rationalization. Demand for equipment and technology is enjoying considerable growth. Market Demand With the completion of the Alice Springs to Darwin Railway, Australia has approximately 37,000 route kilomet er s of standard, broad , and narrow track , compared with 34,480 km in 1990 . Annual engineering construction work is in the vicinity of US$1,800 million. This represents 20 percent of the value of expenditure on roads and bridges.
