Cabs to be fitted with forward facing cameras
Discussions about mounting forward facing cameras in Sydney Trains and NSW Trains cabs are currently taking place.The cameras are an attempt to capture information on services which have been found to be have poor on-time running statistics and follow a recent survey which identified that worst ten AM and PM running services.
The camera would be mounted to face forwards only and record visual images (no sound) of the signal indications, speed restrictions etc and then be assessed to ascertain the between platform delays.
RTBU representatives have been nominated for consultation from the affected depots and members will be advised when this commences.
