Railways Act 2005

Section 24: Proposals to discontinue franchised or secured services

116.Subject to specified exceptions, this section sets out the circumstances and procedures that apply when a railway funding authority (RFA) proposes to close all franchised or secured services on a particular line or from a particular station. 'Secured services' are those which an NA has a duty to provide. These are duties that arise under Part 4 of the Act or where the NA acts as 'operator of last resort' under section 30 of the 1993 Act.

117.The procedure is similar to that for section 23, as described above.
