KiwiRail, the train network in New Zealand, has some exciting news! They are improving their train control operations to make them even safer and more efficient. The current control centre in Wellington will be moved to Upper Hutt. This decision was made because they learned important lessons from earthquakes in Christchurch and Kaikōura.
The new location in Upper Hutt is much safer and less risky. The current centre was too close to a fault line, but the new place has fewer risks from things like tsunamis or ground shaking. It’s important to have a strong and resilient control centre for train safety.
KiwiRail is not only moving the centre but also upgrading its computer system. The old system is 25 years old, so they are replacing it with a new, more advanced one. This will help them automate processes, make things safer, and keep the trains running smoothly.
The new train control centre will be in a special building called the Bubble Building at the Blue Mountains Campus. It’s a big space with a control room where everything will be monitored. KiwiRail has signed a lease for 25 years, so they’ll be there for a long time!
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
