He said that in fostering this transition, the details matter just as much as lofty pronouncements. “For example, transferring just 2% of the volume of road freight load here to rail will subject rail capacity to an increase demand by 25%, and planners need to know this. This would leave only a 30-40% capacity margin on the KTMB network, after taking into account the 20% spare capacity for contingencies. “To ensure all trains move unhindered, it essential to incorporate a robust assessment that takes into account current and future data and operational standards. “This type of planning for growth must be rich in details, and not consist merely of lofty statements or simplistic tabletop projections,” Yuslizar said.
