VRC rail operator, PRL, also known as Proctor Rail Logistics has had a main standout at VRC Management, as CEO, Matthew Proctor, claims some assets of VRC are unfair and faulty. He said, "I want VRC to be equal, so everyone is the same, and so no competitiveness continues. On the 3rd of August 2017, Matthew Proctor had a call organised with VRC CEO's, Jarrad Taylor and Declan Goodsell to hash out the issues with management. Declan had understood all brought up issues, however Jarrad disagree'd with some issues, including removing VRC Management and removing Train Control. Jarrad responded, "I appreciated all feedback given from Matthew, and I do understand, some brought up issues were faulty, some were not needed. Major VRC Changes will occur to all VRC Document on August 10."
BW4 National will no longer operate from October 1 2017, due to upgraded regulations which were not followed by the operator, to fit with VRC’s standards. The contract was nearing completion, and now by the looks, BW4 National will no longer exist on VRC shortly. The current contract, can still be used by BW4 National until September 30 2017 at 11:59PM. The new contract on October 1, will be handed over to a new contractor, who plans to re-kickstart the company, named: JT’s Freightlines. JT’s Freightlines, also known as JTF, will operate the first JT’s Freightlines service on October 1, 2017, remarking the take-over of BW4 National. JTF claims they will be interested in purchasing some of BW4 National’s locomotives and rollingstock, for there company usage. The balance of BW4 National will be transferred to JT’s Freightlines on October 1. Employee’s will lose there jobs at BW4 National, and there future is not known. JT’s Freightlines have not commented if the jobs of BW4 National, will be sent over to JT’s Freightlines. The new operater, JTF, is taking this to a whole new level of VRC operation, following every required standard, and even more important operations. JTF said, “The takeover from BW4 National can be emotional for the 2 year old company, however we plan to notch it up a bit, with more surreal operations, realistic experience in the work industry, and getting to meet new operators. We will be excited to step in on October 1.” . I would also like to put out a notice for the BW4 National Terminal, will be demolished on October 1. JT’s Freightlines will build or find an alternative depot to use. Another report will soon follow .
