Request for reports and correspondence on the New timetable for Johnsonville train line

Tony Randle made this Official Information request to Wellington Regional Council

The request was successful.

From: Tony Randle

Dear Wellington Regional Council,

I note todays DomPost included an article titled "New timetable for Johnsonville train line plagued by delays" (URL: http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/cap...). This article stated "A new timetable on the Johnsonville line is being rolled out in an effort to combat ongoing delays, mostly caused by a wet track, on the steep, single-tracked suburban Wellington railway."

Can you please provide me with a copy of any reports by the GWRC on the proposed changes to the Johnsonville Line timetable ?

Can you please provide me with a copy of any cost estimates by the GWRC on the proposed changes to the Johnsonville Line timetable ?

Can you please provide me with a copy of any correspondence between the GWRC and Kiwirail on the proposed changes to the Johnsonville Line timetable ?

Can you please provide me with a copy of any correspondence between the GWRC and the NZTA on the proposed changes to the Johnsonville Line timetable ?

If this information is held in electronic form, I would prefer it was provided in its complete and original electronic format.

Yours faithfully,

Tony Randle

Dear Darrell Young,

Thanks for your acknowledgement. I want to amend my request by adding the following informaiton.

Firstly, for the sake of clarity when I have asked for information on "proposed changes to the Johnsonville Line timetable", this includes information related to the inability of the Johnsonville Line Matangi trains being unable to meet the current timetable (e.g. this request includes asking any reports by GWRC on the inability of the Matangi trains being unable to meet the current Johnsonville Line timetable).

Secondly, I also ask for the GWRC to please provide me with a copy of any correspondence between the GWRC and the Matangi train manufacturer on the inability of the Matangi trains being unable to meet the current Johnsonville Line timetable and on the proposed changes to the Johnsonville Line timetable ?

Yours sincerely,

Tony Randle
