Mr. Gareth Llewellyn:

To go back to the Senator's comment regarding MetroLink, I have made the point that it is really important to have people in the business very early on in the design stage so that you get all of the interfaces. There are normally interfaces where contractors will play off one another. That is where delays, arguments and cost increases arise. The other thing is that there are, of course, metros around the world. I have been on many of them. It is important that TII makes contact with the organisations behind them to understand the processes they went through, what they learned, what they would do better next time and what would they not do in order that practice from all around the world can be considered before finishing the design.

To be fair to TII, it is doing that. It is talking to its equivalent organisation in Australia, because there is a transit system in Melbourne and elsewhere. Gathering that information from around the world will help to define what TII wants to do. I think it is in that mode, but the important aspect is ensuring that the right people are in place to interpret all the data being gathered.
