Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order prescribes model clauses for inclusion in orders made under section 1 of the Transport and Works Act 1992 (“the Act”). These orders authorise the construction and operation of certain systems of transport, and ancillary matters. The use of the prescribed clauses is not mandatory: they may be omitted entirely from orders if not appropriate or may be adapted to meet special requirements.

Schedule 1 sets out model clauses relating to railways, which term is widely defined in the Act. The term includes mainline and underground railways and also mountain railways, mineral lines, pier lines, funiculars and railways operated by bodies concerned with the preservation of the railway heritage. Schedule 2 sets out model clauses relating to tramways, which term is also defined in the Act. The term includes light rail and other systems which are predominantly street-running. The subjects covered by the model clauses are listed in the table of arrangement at the head of each Schedule.
