(2) Without prejudice to their application by virtue of that section apart from this paragraph, byelaws made under that section by London Regional Transport shall also apply to any railway, and to the agents and servants, of any such subsidiary of London Regional Transport, and to the persons using any such railway or the premises connected with any such railway and occupied by or under the control of any such subsidiary.

(3) Any byelaws made under that section which are in force and apply to the railways of the Executive immediately before the appointed day shall also apply as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above, and in those byelaws-

(a) for references to the Executive there shall be substituted references to London Regional Transport or any such subsidiary (as the context may require) ; and

(b) references to London Transport railways shall be read as references to the railways of London Regional Transport and of any such subsidiary.

(4) If London Regional Transport cease to be a railway company within the meaning of that Act, section 35 shall nevertheless continue to apply to them as if they were such a railway company, so far as relates to the making of byelaws to apply as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) above in relation to any subsidiary of theirs which is such a railway company.
