Train services not run.

Andrew Crow made this Official Information request to Wellington Regional Council

The request was successful.

From: Andrew Crow

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

This has been an stunningly bad week for train services, The public pay in rates for this service.

I am keen to know why services do not run, what happens if a service is not run, how you ensure rate payers are getting value.

I request under OIA:

1. How many train services have not run over last few months?
Detailed data for cancellations for at least three months. (Full year if possible)

2. Cause of cancellation.
Either as cause per cancellation or other relevant data that show why services did not run.

3. Any penalties for not running a service.
This must include what penalties are in any contract and COULD have been enforced. Also must include what penalty WAS enforced per incident of a service not running.

4. Any other documents that show how WRC is ensuring the public get value for the costs of subsidising the services.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Crow
