Background: Why this Recommendation was developed
Output Text:

Safety Issue

It is unlikely that the combined effects of the track geometry defects were considered when assessing a track speed suitable for safe rail operations, especially considering that the horizontal alignment defect was below the documented defect limits and associated response codes.

Safety Recommendation

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the Australian Rail Track Corporation takes safety action to address this safety issue.
