Section 48: Application of Act to extensions
127.Section 48 permits any Transport and Works Act (“TWA”) 1992 order which relates to a proposed extension of Crossrail, or to the provision of a railway facility connected with Crossrail, to apply any provision of the Act, with any modifications necessary, to the order, or provide for any provision of the Act to have effect as if the extension were part of Crossrail. Certain provisions of the Act – those dealing with the extension of compulsory purchase powers and listed buildings, buildings in conservation areas and ancient monuments – are to be excluded from application in this way. The section allows any such TWA order to make the provision needed to ensure that any extension is subject to the same regime as the Crossrail scheme covered by the Act.
