Explanatory note

These Regulations modify the definition of “railway safety purposes” in paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the Railways Act 2005 (which makes provision for the transfer to the Office of Rail Regulation of safety functions). They do so by excluding from the remit of the Office of Rail Regulation, for the purposes of Schedule 3, fairground equipment, guided bus systems and trolley vehicle systems.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
