Part 2: Public Sector Funding Authorities for Railways

London

Section 16: Relaxation of contractual restrictions on Transport for London

94.Section 16 repeals section 201 of the GLA Act, which places restrictions on the type of agreements that TfL can enter into which involve the provision of railway services by licensed operators on the national network. This section provides instead for a prohibition on TfL entering into agreements with rail franchisees without the consent of the Secretary of State. Certain agreements (those in respect of the grant of a use of a railway facility) are excluded from this prohibition.
