(1)

Notwithstanding the temporary stopping up or diversion of any highway under the powers of article 9 of this Order, the undertaker shall be at liberty at all times to construct and do all such works and things in, upon or under any such highways as may be reasonably necessary to enable it to maintain, protect, or use any sewer which at the time of the stopping up or diversion was in that highway.

(2)

Where, by reason of this Order, any part of any highway in which any sewer is situated ceases to be part of a highway, the undertaker shall have powers and rights in respect of the sewer any may exercise the same rights of access to such sewer as it enjoyed immediately before the coming into force of this Order, but nothing in this paragraph shall affect any right of Railtrack or of the undertaker to require alteration of such sewer or any right of the undertaker to require new, altered or substituted sewers or works for the protection of any sewer under this Part of this Schedule.
