Commentary on Sections and Schedules References to the ORR Section 33: Closure requirements
135.This section sets out the powers of the ORR to impose specific requirements in connection with a closure. If an operator fails to comply with requirements that have been imposed on it, the Secretary of State or the Scottish Ministers may take enforcement action under the 1993 Act. This can be in the form of an order setting out steps that the operator must take or financial penalties. Requirements can also be imposed on any of the railway funding authorities and the Passenger Transport Authority but these requirements are not subject to enforcement action.
