A rail transport operator must give the chief executive the following information for each financial year 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 estimated length, in kilometres, of railway tracks in the State for which the rail transport operator will be a rail infrastructure manager during the financial year;
(b) if the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator--
(i) the estimated number of kilometres of railway tracks in the State that passenger trains for which the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator will travel on in the financial year; and
(ii) the estimated number of kilometres of railway tracks in the State that freight trains for which the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator will travel on in the financial year; and
(iii) the estimated number of urban journeys that will be made, in the financial year, by passengers on passenger trains for which the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator; and
(iv) the estimated number of non-urban journeys that will be made, in the financial year, by passengers on passenger trains for which the rail transport operator is a rolling stock operator;
Example for working out estimated number of kilometres of railway tracks that will be travelled in a financial year--
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 it is estimated that the train will make 30 return journeys between point A and point B each day of a financial year, the estimated number of kilometres the train will travel on railway tracks in the financial year is 2 x 300km x 30 x 365 (being 6570000km).
(c) the estimated number of rail safety workers who will, during the financial year, carry out rail safety work in relation to the rail transport operator's railway operations in the State.
