Dear Mitchell,
I refer to your request, made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), asking:
In the Ministry of Transport's "Passenger rail networks in the regions" briefing from ~2016,
included in the appendix is a map of the traffic density of KiwiRail's network, showing the net
tonnes carried on each line in the 2015 Fiscal Year. I would like to know if KiwiRail has and
can provide an updated version of this, say for the 2021 or 2022 Fiscal Year. I would prefer it
in map form, but a table/spreadsheet would also be fine.
We have considered your request and have attached a PDF showing KiwiRail's net
freight tonnage density for FY23 (i.e. for the year ending 30-Jun-2023).
We trust this answers your request.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review of this response by the
Ombudsman, in accordance with section 28(3) of the Act. The relevant details can be
found on the Ombudsman’s website:
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Yours sincerely,
Daniel Dalgety
Government Relations Advisor, KiwiRail
