Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Planning, Approving and Delivering Transport Infrastructure Projects: Discussion

2:00 am

It is worth saying that it is not automatically the case that the network must be twin tracked. What we are looking for is an increase in capacity. We can actually do things like passing loops, which is a short section of a double track, and with correct timetabling, we can get phenomenal uplift in an area-----
