A rail transport operator must give the chief executive the following information for each month during which railway operations are carried out by or on behalf of the operator under the operator's accreditation--
(a) if the rail transport operator is a rail infrastructure manager--the length, in kilometres, of railway tracks in the State for which the rail transport operator was a rail infrastructure manager during the month;
(b) if the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator--
(i) the number of kilometres travelled on railway tracks in the State, in the month, by passenger trains for which the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator; and
(ii) the number of kilometres travelled on railway tracks in the State, in the month, by freight trains for which the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator; and
(iii) the number, either estimated or actual, of urban journeys made by passengers, in the month, on passenger trains for which the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator; and
(iv) the number, either estimated or actual, of non-urban journeys made by passengers, in the month, on passenger trains for which the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator.
Example for working out number of kilometres of railway tracks travelled in a month--
A train transports passengers or freight from point A to point B and makes a return journey to point A without passengers or freight. The train uses 300km of railway tracks in the journey from point A to point B, and in the return journey.
If the train makes 30 return journeys between point A and point B each day of a month, the number of kilometres the train has travelled on railway tracks in a month of 30 days is 2 x 300km x 30 x 30 (being 540000km).
