Action description

NSW Trains advised that it had developed new procedures for the daily access of the ARTC WebRAMS system, which includes procedures in the event WebRAMS was unavailable. NSW Trains has also reviewed interface agreement risks from all rail infrastructure managers (RIMs) to identify and assess NSW Trains' systems and procedures for managing interface safety risks with the relevant RIMs.

In addition, NSW Trains has invested a significant amount into the digitisation of its safety critical information and is committed to implementing a digital solution.
