Will KiwiRail be increasing its spare parts inventory following the most recent issues with Kaiārahi?

Answer

KiwiRail has already increased its spare parts inventory. This has been a core contributor to the near 100% reliability over the past year. We have requested the company revisit its inventory practices to determine whether any additional items should be stored. KiwiRail has confirmed it is actioning this request. As this review is ongoing, we cannot advise you specifically, but we restate our expectation as shareholder that the company maintains the highest possible standards of inventory management.
