This Order authorises Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (referred to in the Order as Network Rail) to construct, operate and maintain works to improve pedestrian access between Edinburgh Waverley station and Princes Street, Edinburgh. The works comprise new stairs and escalators to replace the existing Waverley Steps; lift shafts for two lifts from mezzanine level within the station to the roof level of the adjoining Princes Mall shopping centre; and a pedestrian walkway across the roof from the lifts to Princes Street. For the purposes of these works the Order authorises Network Rail compulsorily to acquire land and servitudes or other rights in land, to use land temporarily and to impose obligations as burdens on land. The Order also authorises the stopping up of Waverley Steps as a public road and provides that the new steps and escalators are to be operational land of Network Rail.
