❓ A WA parliamentary question seeks clarification on safety targets and guidelines for the SWMR project, specifically regarding operational costs, collisions, and derailments. The Minister's response outlines safety measures and indicates that RAMS targets will be developed before train services commence, providing existing targets for the urban passenger railway system.

(b) if these safety targets have been set, will the Minister table this documentation; (c) if these safety targets have not been set, why not; (d) if no safety targets have been set, what guidelines have been set to deal with issues of unanticipated operational costs due to maintenance, and will the Minister table these; and (e) if no safety targets have been set, what guidelines have been set to deal with events such as a collision or derailment, and will the Minister table these?

(a) The SWMR Project is about the development and construction of infrastructure and rollingstock to a standard that is relevant to the proposed task and the environment in which the task will be undertaken. Given the task and operating environment, the SWMR has been designed to very high standards with an extremely low tolerance to derailments and collisions. The specific infrastructure features of the railway that will ensure the highest level of operating safety include: · Provision of automatic train protection · Centralised Train Control signalling system · Continuous welded and ballasted track with concrete sleepers. When completed, the railway will be subjected to rigorous inspection and maintenance standards for both the railway infrastructure and rollingstock. Control of vandalism and trespass onto the railway are also matters that will receive high levels of attention, together with reducing the risks to people working on and alongside the track. Locating the railway in the freeway median provides gives added protection against trespass and vandalism. The new railway will operate using proven technology in respect of reliability and safety. (b) Not applicable. (c),(d) & (e) RAMS type targets are developed by the operator given the standard of infrastructure and rollingstock and the environment in which it will be operated. In regard to the SWMR, the setting of appropriate safety targets will be fully developed prior to the commencement of train services. There has not been any mainline derailments or collisions between trains on the urban passenger railway system at least since electrification of the network. The SWMR, like the Northern Suburbs Railway, will not have any at grade vehicle crossings. Provision of an automatic train protection safeworking system will ensure that in the event of a train passing through a red signal, (stop signal) the train will automatically be brought to a stop. This system will ensure train separation is maintained and therefore minimises the probability of trains colliding. This is a world best practice system.

(a) The SWMR Project is about the development and construction of infrastructure and rollingstock to a standard that is relevant to the proposed task and the environment in which the task will be undertaken. Given the task and operating environment, the SWMR has been designed to very high standards with an extremely low tolerance to derailments and collisions. The specific infrastructure features of the railway that will ensure the highest level of operating safety include: · Provision of automatic train protection · Centralised Train Control signalling system · Continuous welded and ballasted track with concrete sleepers. When completed, the railway will be subjected to rigorous inspection and maintenance standards for both the railway infrastructure and rollingstock. Control of vandalism and trespass onto the railway are also matters that will receive high levels of attention, together with reducing the risks to people working on and alongside the track. Locating the railway in the freeway median provides gives added protection against trespass and vandalism. The new railway will operate using proven technology in respect of reliability and safety. (b) Not applicable. (c),(d) & (e) RAMS type targets are developed by the operator given the standard of infrastructure and rollingstock and the environment in which it will be operated. In regard to the SWMR, the setting of appropriate safety targets will be fully developed prior to the commencement of train services. There has not been any mainline derailments or collisions between trains on the urban passenger railway system at least since electrification of the network. The SWMR, like the Northern Suburbs Railway, will not have any at grade vehicle crossings. Provision of an automatic train protection safeworking system will ensure that in the event of a train passing through a red signal, (stop signal) the train will automatically be brought to a stop. This system will ensure train separation is maintained and therefore minimises the probability of trains colliding. This is a world best practice system.

(a) The SWMR Project is about the development and construction of infrastructure and rollingstock to a standard that is relevant to the proposed task and the environment in which the task will be undertaken.
Given the task and operating environment, the SWMR has been designed to very high standards with an extremely low tolerance to derailments and collisions. The specific infrastructure features of the railway that will ensure the highest level of operating safety include:
· Provision of automatic train protection
· Centralised Train Control signalling system
· Continuous welded and ballasted track with concrete sleepers.
When completed, the railway will be subjected to rigorous inspection and maintenance standards for both the railway infrastructure and rollingstock. Control of vandalism and trespass onto the railway are also matters that will receive high levels of attention, together with reducing the risks to people working on and alongside the track.
Locating the railway in the freeway median provides gives added protection against trespass and vandalism.
The new railway will operate using proven technology in respect of reliability and safety.
(b) Not applicable.
(c),(d) & (e) RAMS type targets are developed by the operator given the standard of infrastructure and rollingstock and the environment in which it will be operated. In regard to the SWMR, the setting of appropriate safety targets will be fully developed prior to the commencement of train services.
There has not been any mainline derailments or collisions between trains on the urban passenger railway system at least since electrification of the network.
The SWMR, like the Northern Suburbs Railway, will not have any at grade vehicle crossings.
Provision of an automatic train protection safeworking system will ensure that in the event of a train passing through a red signal, (stop signal) the train will automatically be brought to a stop. This system will ensure train separation is maintained and therefore minimises the probability of trains colliding. This is a world best practice system.
For the information of the member, following are the targets for the Urban Passenger Railway System on which the PTA reports to the Office of Rail Safety annually:
