Crossrail Act 2008

Railway matters

Section 24: Licensing

74.Section 24 temporarily disapplies the requirement for either a licence, or a licence exemption, under the Railways Act 1993 which would otherwise exist in respect of any network constructed using Act powers, and in respect of any train being used on such a network. This disapplication lasts until the Secretary of State gives notice of his determination that the network is ready for commercial use. Before newly constructed track is open for commercial use, it is possible that use will be made of it for construction purposes or for testing, and this section removes the need for a licence in respect of such operations.
