First Waratah train ready for handover

RailCorp recently received notification that the first Waratah Set is ready for inspection and handover before the they start “in service” running.

RailCorp technicians will begin inspecting Set A03 from 19 April. A range of testing and validation work will then be done over a 20 day period to ensure the set is operational before it is given final approval.

The RTBU’s project representatives have been invited to participate in procedural validations of the train’s many new systems as well as “on track” operational testing during this period.

These procedural validations include the Internal Emergency Door Release [IEDR], Fire Detection System, Guards CCTV operations and the proposed Train Preparation to name a few.

Members will be kept informed as this process progresses.
