Article 3 Incorporation and application of enactments

The provisions of the Railways Clauses Consolidation Act 1845^f1, except sections 8, 9, 11 to 15, 32 to 44, 46 to 57, 59 to 62, 94, 95, 97 and 115 to 124, are incorporated with and form part of this Order, so far as they are applicable for the purposes and are not inconsistent with or varied by the provisions of this Order, and this Order shall be deemed to be the special Act for the purposes of the said incorporated provisions.

Subject to the provisions of this Order such of the enactments mentioned in the Second Schedule to the Light Railways Act 1896 as are still in force shall not apply to the Society’s railway except for section 22 of the Regulation of Railways Act 1868^f2 (means of communication between passengers and Company’s servants to be provided) and section 1 (power to order certain provisions to be made for public safety) and section 5 (penalty for avoiding payment of fare) of the Regulation of Railways Act 1889^f3.

In its application to the Society’s railway section 22 of the Regulation of Railways Act 1868 shall be read, construed and have effect as if the words “and travels more than twenty miles without stopping” had been omitted.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, section 118 of the Transport Act 1968 shall apply to the Society’s railway as if for the references therein to the Board there were substituted references to the Society.
