Guidance on the railways (access, management and licensing of railway undertakings) regulations 2016
Proposed new guidance to replace the appeals to ORR under the railways infrastructure (access and management) regulations 2005 guidance.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
The law concerning access to rail infrastructure and service facilities, allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges has been consolidated and, in part, changed as a result of the recast of the first railway package.
We are amending our guidance to reflect these changes. We are also widening its scope to cover infrastructure and charges, in addition to access and appeals. We invite your comments on this draft guidance.
