	Transport Administration Amendment (Light Rail) Bill - 28/11/1996 - 2R
		As light rail systems may be developed and operated by private sector parties, the Director General is to be given the power to authorise a light rail operator to use or have the benefit of the light rail easement and other land interests acquired.
		It is important that light rail is viewed as an ideal direction for the Government to follow, particularly with today's knowledge of the massive pollution problems involved with the expansion of private vehicle transport throughout the city.
		The second purpose of the bill is generic to light rail as a transport mode and is intended to enable the development of additional infrastructure.

		That will be done when a light rail order has been proposed to the Minister; it will be on the basis of an order for specific routes after consultation and the recommendation of the consultants and project team has been put to the Minister.
		The light rail is expected operationally to break even and operationally to make a profit; but if you take the capital investment into account, you are looking at many decades before there is a return on any money.
		The rate of return on a light rail project is not such as to readily attract private equity and delays while trying to secure private funding have been detrimental to projects in other cities.

	Transport innovations Rail transport
		Similar to passengers transport an increase of speed is an important driving force for new developments in rail freight transport.
		In contradiction to passenger transport however, technological developments are less focused towards increasing the maximum speed of trains, but rather towards improving the transit time in the total logistic chain.
		Since speed of terminal transport and handling are assumed to rise, this might have a negative influence on energy consumption.

		The Transport Executive was in favour of WMT involvement in the consortium, as it would protect Line One from bus competition.
