Explanatory note

This Order excepts all agreements in respect of Croydon Tramlink and Docklands Light Railway, under which station or train operating functions are provided by a person other than Transport for London or its subsidiaries, from the requirement that the Secretary of State’s consent be obtained before they are entered into or carried out. The Docklands Light Railway is now defined as including the City Airport and Woolwich Arsenal Extensions (in addition to the railways previously listed in the Transport for London (Reserved Services)(Croydon Tramlink and Docklands Light Railway) Exception Order 2000).

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