No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Authorised by the Victorian Government, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne. Minister’s Foreword In February 2004, after the failure of the original privatisation framework, the Victorian Government entered into new franchise agreements with Melbourne’s public transport companies, Yarra Trams and Connex. These partnership agreements find the balance between government support for public transport in Melbourne and the operational expertise provided by experienced private rail operators. Almost one year on, the new arrangements are running smoothly, providing stability across the public transport system and giving a solid foundation for a range of improvements in service delivery. Some of the other benefits to passengers that stem from these agreements include: • Additional front-line customer service staff; • Increased security patrols; • Improved driver training programs; • All night New Year’s Eve services; • Additional rolling stock; and • Improved standards for the upkeep of transport facilities. The key themes of this summary report include the background to the failure of the original contracts, the renegotiations, the nature of the new partnership agreements and the challenges of the refranchising process. You can obtain the latest information about Melbourne’s public transport by visiting www.doi.vic.gov.au/transport I commend this report to you.
  • APPENDIX a – Rail Manufacturing in Victoria

    APPENDIX a – Rail Manufacturing in Victoria

    Rail Manufacturing in Victoria Summary of key points • Approximately 1000 people are employed directly by the major rail rolling stock manufacturers in Victoria and another 5,000 to 10,000 employed in their supply chain. • Rail rolling stock manufacturing is directly influenced by State Government procurement policy and purchasing decisions. Victorian Government local content rules are weak compared to interstate and international examples. In recent years, the New South Wales and Victorian Governments have collectively awarded $3.8 billion worth of contracts to overseas manufacturers. • The Victorian Transport Plan commits to $3.6 billion in new investment in rail rolling stock over 4 years. Manufacturing 50 % of these new vehicles in Victoria would create 2,250 full- time jobs directly and another 5,400 – 6,300 full-time jobs indirectly in the supply chain. • A strong rail manufacturing sector could provide thousands of jobs for retrenched automotive workers as long as the training system was made more flexible and relevant to industry needs. • Ongoing investment in local manufacturing would ensure the continued existence of a skilled workforce and provide a solid platform for expanded export opportunities. Once local manufacturing capacity is allowed to erode it is difficult, if not impossible to regain. Introduction Victoria is facing the twin challenges of climate change and the global financial crisis. Already the economic downturn has cost thousands of Victorian jobs, many in the manufacturing sector and expectations are for unemployment to rise further in the coming year. At the same time, the impacts of climate change and peak oil will be felt most by low income and disadvantaged Victorians, particularly those living on the outskirts of our cities.

A number of external factors potentially impact on the network each day, such as variable station dwell times, driver availability, minor vandalism and freight movements. Recognising this, the network is designed to operate within an in- built ‘buffer’, which allows services to continue Melbourne’s train system, relatively unimpeded by such challenges.

The Balaklava to Kadina line of the Western System was pre-existing as a narrow gauge line, when the broad gauge line to Tarcoola from Long Plains started to snake forward towards Port Pirie. The interaction of the two lines did not create a 'transfer' point for passengers or commodities, and the status ended four years later when the whole of the Western System was converted to broad gauge. Given that this system change was predicted, all of the dual gauge BROKEN HILL lines at Bowmans were laid as 4 rail configuration with both narrow gauge rails between the broad gauge to facilitate the eventual change to broad gauge only.
