The rail industry is responsible for effectively investigating derailments in order to identify and combat potential future triggers.

The inaugural RISSB National Derailment Investigations Workshop will provide participants with an interactive and practical forum to discuss the complex issues surrounding regulation, investigations, legal elements, human factors, infrastructure and operations in relation to derailment investigations.

The National Derailment Investigations Workshop will bring together regulators, rail operators, researchers, safety professionals and consultants to discuss the latest industry developments in a hands-on environment. 

Urban rail operators are already grappling with unexpected spikes in rail patronage in recent years which has placed incredible stress on system capacity - particularly during morning and afternoon peaks. In order for rail operators to continue attracting frustrated motorists to their network, innovative action is needed to unlock the current capacity constraints on our urban systems.

Furthermore, the industry is well aware that urban rail services need to be more than just timely to drive customer loyalty. The common aim is to provide consistently enjoyable and comfortable journeys. With these issues in mind Urban Rail 2012 will examine the short and long term challenges facing urban rail operators as demand increases , as well as explore practical and inventive ways to build better relationships with passengers and improve the customer experience.

Now in its 4th year Urban Rail has developed into one of the most significant events on the industry calendar and in 2012 the summit will continue to provide you with the latest information from the industry and first hand interaction with figureheads from the passenger rail sector.

Keeping ahead of the curve through the sharing of knowledge”

The WCRR program will showcase an incredible 215 technical presentations, across 8 streams. On the final day, the WCRR 2013 will come together with AusRAIL PLUS. The combined plenary on the morning of 27 November will see around 2500 rail executives gather to share the expertise of the mornings speakers. The exhibitions will also combine to create the biggest ever rail exhibition hosted in the Australasian region.
