Good morning Lloyd

Apologies for slightly delay, I was hoping to acknowledge and respond all in one, as I wasn't sure if we'd hold the information requested.

Turns out we do, but we don't have any records of any incidents involving Heritage trains within the last five years.

You had asked - I am seeking information on any SPAD (signal passed at danger) or signalling or points incidents or irregularities involving heritage trains on the Kiwi Rail network from June 2023 to the present date. Such information would include the date and time of the incident, the operator and what occurred including any formal investigations.

The information we have records four incidents, but none since 2015.

Event Number Event Date Event Types Vehicle Type Rail Primary Effect1
151860 9/04/2015 Incident, Rail Occurrence Heritage DRM - Derailment
111083 15/03/2011 Incident, Rail Occurrence Heritage CRV - Collision with Rail Vehicle
170758 4/02/2017 Incident, Rail Occurrence Heritage NCLV - Near Collision Light Road Vehicle
156434 29/10/2015 Incident, Rail Occurrence Heritage SWI - Safe Working Irregularity

Hope that helps.

Kind regards

Dave
