Welcome to CORE 2010,
12 – 14 September 2010, Wellington, New Zealand

The Conference on Railway Engineering (CORE) is the biennial conference organised by the Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA). CORE has become an important technical event in the international railway industry calendar and in 2010 the RTSA takes CORE to Wellington, New Zealand.

CORE 2010 will continue to provide CORE delegates from across the railway industry with a programme of high quality railway technical papers and ample opportunity to network.

Rail – Rejuvenation & Renaissance, the CORE 2010 theme, highlights the re-emergence of rail as a major solution to the need for sustainable, high capacity infrastructure to support economic development on both sides of the Tasman and around the world.

The New Zealand rail system provides a good case study for the various political, economic and technical challenges in rail system development and operation. The country’s unique geography continues to present a major challenge to rail and the need to upgrade ageing infrastructure has led to the development of some innovative technical solutions.

Wellington, New Zealand’s capital and scenic harbour city, puts CORE 2010 in the political, economic and railway technical centre of New Zealand. The Wellington Convention Centre is the perfect venue – within walking distance of hotels, cafés, restaurants, entertainment and the city’s arts and cultural venues.

We look forward to welcoming you to CORE 2010.

CORE 2010 Organising Committee Chair
