Draft guidance on the economic equilibrium test for rail open access applications
Seeks views on guidance setting out how ORR will administer a test to reach a decision on whether to approve certain applications to access the rail network.
Detail
The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is consulting on guidance which sets out how we plan to administer the economic equilibrium test. When requested, ORR, as independent regulator, must carry out this test to reach a decision on whether to approve certain rail open access applications. The test is described in a new EU implementing regulation which applies from 1 January 2019.
