Thank you Richard. So in terms of Melbourne's trains and trams, PTV sets parameters or specifications within which the operator creates the timetables etc. So it's still the same system but with some more tasks devolved within agreed standards. This sort of flexibility is available under the operating contract system.

In NSW, TfNSW will commonly engage a consultant to design a timetable etc within parameters defined by TfNSW, which is then passed to the operator to implement. Such is the case with IWLR.
