The tender process for Auckland’s electric trains will take almost a year.
KiwiRail has outlined its timetable. It is starting a review of the information that has already been gathered and then get a Request for Tender document into the market place around January. It will award a tender before the end of next year.
While it sounds a long time, the tender process takes this length and it will still enable the trains to come on board in 2013.
