This Order specifies certain systems using modes of guided transport for the purposes of Chapter I of Part II of the Transport and Works Act 1992. The Order accordingly has the effect of applying to these systems the provisions of the Act which introduce new offences involving drink and drugs.

Particulars of the systems are given in the Schedule to the Order. One employs magnetic levitation; another a monorail; and three are track-based using side guidance. A definition of each of these terms appears in Article 3 of the Order.
