217 says Tulitt . “ When we introduced the electric rolling stock in Auckland we went from having no onboard signalling system to utilising the European Train Control System ( ETCS ) that actually tells the driver what ’ s ahead of them . In Auckland , we ’ ve been using it successfully for over three years now .”
Tulitt points out that Transdev is committed to operating sustainable modes of transport with Wellington being one of the greenest networks in the country . “ Wellington offers a very clean mode of transport , running on around
84 % renewable energy ,” he says of the company ’ s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint . “ Patronage growth is driven by environmental factors and it ’ s been interesting to meet the challenge of capacity outstripping our rolling stock capability . We ’ ve been on a tough road , but we ’ re managing to do it .” For Tulitt and his team , the signals Transdev ’ s transformation is sending show the track ahead is clear .
