Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order exempts Transport for London from the requirement to obtain the consent of the Secretary of State to continue the operation of contracts which have been entered into by London Underground Limited before this Order is made for the provision of services which are reserved services for the purposes of section 207 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. Reserved services are services which relate to the performance of any station-operating function or any train-operating function.

The Order also amends the definition of station-operating function in section 207(7) of that Act by deleting subsection (f) of that definition which relates to the duties of staff employed at a place from which the operation of the whole or part of any station is controlled.
