  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order makes provision for the transition from London local service licensing of bus services under Part II of the Transport Act 1985 (“the 1985 Act”) to London service permits under Chapter V of Part IV of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (“the 1999 Act”).\nArticles 3 and 4 make transitional modifications to the 1985 and 1999 Acts. Part II of the 1985 Act remains in force so as to enable all subsisting licences to continue in force and the traffic commissioner to deal with applications for London local service licences received before 3rd July 2000. Part II ceases to have effect only when all such licences have ceased to be in force. The 1999 Act is modified so as to allow holders of London local service licences to continue operating under those licences after the introduction of London service permits.\nArticle 5 provides for the interim continuation of London local service licences granted under the 1985 Act where the holder has applied for a London service permit under the 1999 Act and article 6 provides for agreements entered into by London Regional Transport under section 3 of the London Regional Transport Act 1984 to be treated as entered into by Transport for London under section 156 of the 1999 Act. Article 7 enables the Secretary of State to issue interim guidance on the criteria to be applied by Transport for London in considering applications for London service permits until such time as the Mayor has adopted his own guidance.",
