Part 2: Public Sector Funding Authorities for Railways

London

Section 15: Duty of Secretary of State and Transport for London to co-operate

93.Section 15 replaces various references in section 175 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (the GLA Act) to the SRA with references to the Secretary of State. The revised section 175 provides a duty on the Secretary of State and Transport for London (TfL) to co-operate. In addition it amends section 175 so that the Secretary of State must consult TfL before issuing an invitation to tender (or when entering a franchise agreement for which an ITT has not been issued) for railway passenger services to, from or within London. TfL and the Secretary of State also have a reciprocal duty to share with the other information relating to certain transport functions. Section 175 as amended also allows TfL to enter into arrangements with the Secretary of State in relation to railway services to, from or within London and for payments to be made by TfL to the Secretary of State in respect of them.
