# The Transport for Greater Manchester (Light Rapid Transit System) (Trafford Park Extension) Order 2016, Article 25: Mode of construction and operation of transit system


(1) The authorised transit system must be operated by electricity or, in an emergency or for the purposes of maintenance, by diesel power or other means.
(2) The authorised transit system must be constructed to a gauge of 1,435 millimetres.
(3) Where the authorised transit system is constructed along a street or in any place to which the public has access (including any place to which the public has access only on making a payment), the undertaker must take such care as in all the circumstances is reasonable to ensure that the authorised transit system is constructed and maintained so that the street or other place is safe for other users.
(4) When considering what measures are required under paragraph (3) the undertaker must have particular regard to the character and usage of the street or other place and to those who could reasonably be expected to use it.
(5) Where the authorised transit system has been constructed in a street, works by any person which affect or are likely to affect the undertaker’s obligations under paragraph (3), including works to any street surfaces and works affecting any equipment or apparatus placed in the street under article 11 (power to keep apparatus in streets), must not be carried out without the consent of the undertaker, which may be given subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as the undertaker may require but must not be unreasonably withheld.
