Good afternoon Mr Palmer

 

We are writing in response to your email to KiwiRail dated 4 November
2016. Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act
1982 (the Act).  Your questions, and KiwiRail’s responses, are provided
below:

 

“What progress has been made on the proposed double tracking between
Trentham and Upper Hutt Railway Stations?

Double tracking between Trentham and Upper Hutt railway stations was
proposed in Rail Scenario 1 (RS1), a component of The Greater Wellington
Regional Council’s Wellington Regional Rail Plan 2010 – 2035.

 

Does the conceptual design work allow for a simultaneous arrival of
northbound metro services to the dock platform while a service is
departing from the main platform?

A concept layout for double tracking has been designed. The design
accommodates double tracking and allows for the proposed Hutt Valley
traction overhead line system renewal to progress.

 

What upgrade works are currently being planned for the Wairarapa Line
within the next ten years for the following areas;

- Wellington Metro area

- South of Masterton

- North of Masterton

This information is currently under consideration by officials.  We are
therefore refusing it under s9(2)(f)(iv) of the Official Information Act
1982. 

 

Under s28(3) of the Act, you have the right to seek an investigation and
review of this decision by way of complaint to the Ombudsman.  Refer to
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz for more information.

 

Regards

Louise
