	Coleman delivers for RailCorp IT division - Next - Technology - smh.com.au
		RailCorp shares many similarities with Sydney Water, such as the lengthy tenure of staff and strong union presence, but Coleman says it is fundamentally different in its appreciation of ICT's contribution to the business.
		Coleman is reluctant to discuss details of her time at Sydney Water but wants to clarify once and for all that the decision to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers to run the project was made before her arrival.
		What she cherishes at RailCorp is the support and opportunity to bear responsibility for judgement calls she has made.

	RailCorp Train Crew Council - Press Release # 1 - 10-Feb-2004
		The other significant issue at the moment relates to RailCorp train drivers acting to exercise their right to secure their rostered days off so that they cannot be given overtime shifts on those days.
		RailCorp management uses the term 'reasonable amount of overtime' to justify their claim that we should make at least one additional day available for work during each roster period (currently two weeks for most RailCorp train crewing staff).
		Attempting to mandate that RailCorp train crewing staff must make themselves available to work any number of extra shifts is not acceptable, and RailCorp management must accept the full responsibility for problems relating to staff shortages, etc. which have been ongoing since well before the events of recent years.
