Schedule 6: Functions retained by London Transport Users' Committee
231.The duties, powers and role of the London Transport Users’ Committee (LTUC) go beyond mainline passenger rail services. But their role in respect of rail is drawn from their position as the Rail Passengers’ Committee for the Greater London area, under section 2 of the 1993 Act. With the dissolution of the regional committee network the Rail Passengers’ Committees are being abolished. LTUC is sponsored by the London Assembly and not the Secretary of State. The Assembly were not seeking to remove rail from LTUC's remit, and it is therefore appropriate that LTUC should have new powers in respect of railways to replace the powers which it will be losing by virtue of the repeal of Rail Passengers' Committee functions under this Act. Schedule 6 provides for the continuation of LTUC's existing duties, powers and responsibilities to represent users of services in the London railway area.
