This Order makes amendments to the national Railway Byelaws made by the Strategic Rail Authority in 2005.

Article 2(2)(a) excludes the railway assets of Transport for London or its subsidiaries and any trains, other vehicles and associated equipment used by a person under an agreement with Transport for London or any of its subsidiaries from the scope of the national Railway Byelaws. Article 2(2)(b) inserts a definition of “subsidiary” into the Railway Byelaws.

Article 2(3) amends Schedule 2 by removing London Underground Limited and Tube Lines Limited, which are subsidiaries of Transport for London, from the list of operators excluded from the definition of “operator” in Byelaw 25(1), as they are excluded by virtue of the amendment in article 2(2).

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
