Acquisition of apparatus
3. Notwithstanding any provision of this Order Network Rail shall not acquire any apparatus other than by agreement.
Removal of apparatus
4.—(1) If, in the exercise of the powers conferred by this Order, Network Rail acquires any interest in any land in which any apparatus is placed, that apparatus shall not be removed under this Part of this Schedule and any right of a specified undertaker to maintain that apparatus in that land shall not be extinguished until alternative apparatus has been constructed and is in operation to the reasonable satisfaction of the specified undertaker.
(2) If, for the purpose of constructing any works in, on or under any land purchased, held, appropriated or used under this Order, Network Rail requires the removal of any apparatus placed in that land, it shall give to the specified undertaker notice of that requirement, together with a plan and section of the work proposed, and of the proposed position of the alternative apparatus to be provided or constructed and in that case (or if in consequence of the exercise of any of the powers conferred by this Order a specified undertaker reasonably needs to remove any of its apparatus) Network Rail shall, subject to sub-paragraph (3), afford to the specified undertaker the necessary facilities and rights for the construction of alternative apparatus in other land of Network Rail and thereafter for the maintenance of that apparatus.
(3) If alternative apparatus or any part of such apparatus is to be constructed elsewhere than in other land of Network Rail, or Network Rail is unable to afford such facilities and rights as are mentioned in sub-paragraph (2), in the land in which the alternative apparatus or part of such apparatus is to be constructed, the specified undertaker shall, on receipt of a notice to that effect from Network Rail, forthwith use its best endeavours to obtain the necessary facilities and rights in the land in which the alternative apparatus is to be constructed.

(6) Notwithstanding anything in sub-paragraph (5), if Network Rail gives notice to the specified undertaker that it desires itself to execute any part of so much of the work necessary in connection with the construction of the alternative apparatus, or the removal of the apparatus required to be removed, as will take place in any land of Network Rail, that work, instead of being executed by the specified undertaker, shall be executed by Network Rail with all reasonable despatch under the superintendence, if given, and to the reasonable satisfaction of the specified undertaker.
(7) Nothing in sub-paragraph (6) shall authorise Network Rail to execute the placing, installation, bedding, packing, removal, connection or disconnection of any apparatus, or execute any filling around the apparatus (where the apparatus is laid in a trench) within 300 millimetres of the apparatus.
Alternative apparatus
5.—(1) Where, in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, Network Rail affords to a specified undertaker facilities and rights for the construction and maintenance in land of Network Rail of alternative apparatus in substitution for apparatus to be removed, those facilities and rights shall be granted upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed between Network Rail and the specified undertaker or in default of agreement settled by arbitration.
(2) In settling those terms and conditions in respect of the alternative apparatus to be constructed in or along any railway of Network Rail, the arbiter shall—
(a)give effect to all reasonable requirements of Network Rail for ensuring the safety and efficient operation of the authorised works and for securing any subsequent alterations or adaptations of the alternative apparatus which may be required to prevent interference with any proposed works of Network Rail or the operation of its railway undertaking; and
(b)so far as it may be reasonable and practicable to do so in the circumstances of the particular case, give effect to, if any, the terms and conditions applicable to the apparatus constructed in or along the railway for which the alternative apparatus is to be substituted.
(3) If the facilities and rights to be afforded by Network Rail in respect of any alternative apparatus, and the terms and conditions subject to which those facilities and rights are to be granted, are in the opinion of the arbiter less favourable on the whole to the specified undertaker than the facilities and rights enjoyed by it in respect of the apparatus to be removed and the terms and conditions to which those facilities and rights are subject, the arbiter shall make such provision for the payment of compensation by Network Rail to that undertaker as appears to the arbiter to be reasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the particular case.
Construction of authorised works
6.—(1) Not less than 28 days before commencing the construction of any work of the type referred to in paragraph 4(2) that is near to, or will or may affect, any apparatus the removal of which has not been required by Network Rail under paragraph 4(2), Network Rail shall submit to the specified undertaker a plan, section and description of the work to be constructed.
(2) Any such work shall be constructed only in accordance with the plan, section and description as submitted under sub-paragraph (1) and in accordance with such reasonable requirements as may be made by the specified undertaker in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) for the alteration or otherwise for the protection of the apparatus, or for securing access to the apparatus, and the specified undertaker shall be entitled by its officer to watch and inspect the construction of that work.
(3) Any requirements made by the specified undertaker under sub-paragraph (2) shall be made within a period of 14 days beginning with the date on which a plan, section and description under sub-paragraph (1) are submitted to it.
(4) If a specified undertaker, in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) and in consequence of the works proposed by Network Rail, reasonably requires the removal of any apparatus and gives notice to Network Rail of that requirement, the foregoing provisions of this Part of this Schedule shall have effect as if the removal of such apparatus had been required by the specified undertaker under paragraph 4(2).
(5) Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude Network Rail from submitting at any time, or from time to time, but in no case less than 28 days before commencing the construction of any work, a new plan, section and description of the work in lieu of the plan, section and description previously submitted, and at the time of such submission the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to, and in respect of, the new plan, section and description.
(6) Network Rail shall not be required to comply with sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) in a case of emergency but, in that case, it shall give notice to the specified undertaker as soon as is reasonably practicable, and shall provide a plan of the works so soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and shall comply with those sub-paragraphs so far as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.
Removal, etc. expenses
7.—(1) Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, Network Rail shall repay to a specified undertaker the reasonable expenses incurred by that undertaker in, or in connection with, the inspection, removal, alteration or protection of any apparatus or the construction of any new apparatus which may be required in consequence of the execution of any such works as are referred to in paragraph 4(2).
(2) There shall be deducted from any sum payable under sub-paragraph (1) the value of any apparatus removed under the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, that value being calculated after removal.
(3) If in pursuance of the provisions of this Part of this Schedule—
(a)apparatus of better type, of greater capacity or of greater dimensions is placed in substitution for existing apparatus of worse type, of smaller capacity or of smaller dimensions; or
(b)apparatus (whether existing apparatus or apparatus substituted for existing apparatus) is placed at a depth greater than the depth at which the existing apparatus was,
and the placing of apparatus of that type or capacity or those dimensions or the placing of apparatus at that depth, as the case may be, is not agreed by Network Rail or, in default of agreement, is not determined by arbitration to be necessary, then, if such placing involves cost in the construction of works under this Part of this Schedule exceeding that which would have been involved if the apparatus placed had been of the existing type, capacity or dimensions, or at the existing depth, as the case may be, the amount which apart from this paragraph would be payable to the specified undertaker by virtue of sub-paragraph (1), shall be reduced by the amount of that excess.
(4) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)—
(a)an extension of apparatus to a length greater than the length of existing apparatus shall not be treated as placing of apparatus of greater dimensions than those of the existing apparatus; and
(b)where the provision of a joint in a cable is agreed, or is determined to be necessary, the consequential provision of a jointing chamber or of a manhole shall be treated as if it also had been agreed or had been so determined.
(5) An amount which apart from this sub-paragraph would be payable to a specified undertaker in respect of works by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) shall, if the works include the placing of apparatus provided in substitution for apparatus placed more than 7 years and 6 months earlier so as to confer on the specified undertaker any financial benefit by deferment of the time for renewal of the apparatus in the normal course, be reduced by the amount which represents that benefit—
(a)as calculated in accordance with any code of practice relating to necessary measures where apparatus is affected by or diverted to accommodate major works that has been approved under section 143(2) of the 1991 Act (measures necessary where apparatus affected by major works); or
(b)if no such code of practice is in force, as agreed between Network Rail and the specified undertaker or (in the absence of agreement) determined by arbitration.
