  • News Update July 2017
    Council of Tramway Museums of Australasia Inc. www.cotma.org.au News Update July 2017 From the Chairman Welcome to our third COTMA News Update for 2017. In this issue we report on the recent FEDECRAIL conference held in Antwerp, Belgium and attended by Warren Doubleday, and the NZ FRONZ conference in Dunedin which I attended. As I write this I am preparing to travel to Melbourne for the COTMA AGM on Tuesday (25 July) and an Executive meeting which will follow. At the Executive meeting we have a number of important issues to discuss, including spare parts - note the references further below to Wellington (trolley bus closure), and PC5 equipment, as well as getting an update on Melbourne W’s and equipment. All member museums will have received an invitation to the AGM and should by now have indicated whether they will be attending. The annual conference of the Federation of Rail Organisations of NZ (FRONZ) was well attended by both railway and tramway groups from around N.Z. and included rail trips on the Taieri Gorge line and on the main line to Oamaru as well as visits to the local Gasworks Museum, the Ocean Beach Railway and Toitu Otago Settlers Museum which includes in its collection former Maryhill Cable car No. 106, Roslyn Electric tram No. 1 (restored at Ferrymead) and Dunedin Trolley bus No 10. The Settlers Museum was the venue for an informative talk about the Dunedin Cable car systems and proposals to set up an operating cable car museum using restored cable cars from Ferrymead.

It focuses mainly on the Tactivities and experiences of Angel Trains (Angel). BACKGROUND.

Meeting this need is a priority for all of us in rail, and the desire for on-time service delivery shows in the correlation between punctuality and customer satisfaction and, in turn, the correlation between customer satisfaction and rail businesses’ revenues. It is important therefore, for the industry and the country as well as customers that we run punctual trains. We have been failing to do this for too long. After improving performance every month from 2002 – 2011, we now repeatedly miss the punctuality levels that TOCs and NR Routes agree they will deliver. The reliability of the vehicles we operate is part of that under-delivery and we have to do better. In 2013, the fleet planned a national passenger fleet performance challenge of delivering 11 500 MTIN by March 2019, a 20% improvement in reliability over this five- year control period. The reality is that we are likely to deliver only 9 000 MTIN by then.
