Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)(This note is not part of the Regulations)

This Order makes an amendment to the national Railway Byelaws made by the Strategic Rail Authority in 2005 and amended by the Railway Byelaws Amendment Order 2011.

Schedule Two of the national Railway Byelaws is referred to in the definition of “Operator” in Byelaw 25(1) and operates to exclude certain undertakings from that definition. This also has the effect of excluding railway assets owned or under the management of those undertakings from the definition of “railway”.

Article 2(2) amends Schedule Two by inserting “Merseyrail Electrics Limited 2002” with the effect that railway assets owned by or under the management of that company are excluded from the national Railway Byelaws.

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