Project resourcing
Minor safety issue
Although the Australian Rail Track Corporation was not resourced to
actively participate in the design or commissioning phases of the
Cootamundra re-signalling project, greater involvement by the
Australian Rail Track Corporation (local knowledge of site
geography and layout) during these phases may have assisted the
South Improvement Alliance engineers in detecting the design
error.
Safety Advisory Notice
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau advises that the Australian
Rail Track Corporation should consider the implications of this
safety issue and take action where considered appropriate.
