# The River Thames (Hungerford Footbridges) Order 1999, Paragraph 8


(1) If at any time after the completion of the specified works Railtrack PLC gives notice to the undertaker informing it that the state of maintenance of the specified works appears to be such as adversely affects the operation of railway property, the undertaker shall, on receipt of such notice, take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to put the specified works in such state of maintenance as not adversely to affect the operation of railway property.
(2) If within—
(a) a period of 28 days after notice has been given to the undertaker under sub-paragraph (1) above, or
(b) in the case of an emergency, such shorter period as the occasion may require,
the undertaker does not commence, and continue with reasonable dispatch, the steps required to be taken in consequence of the notice, Railtrack may without further notice to the undertaker itself take those steps, including any steps which require Railtrack to enter or use property belonging to or under the control of the undertaker.
(3) The cost to Railtrack of implementing sub-paragraph (2) above shall be repaid to Railtrack PLC by the undertaker.
