Human Rights assessment Section 104: Office of Rail Regulation: general duties
172.Section 104 makes a minor amendment to Section 4(5) of the Railways Act 1993 by repealing the words shown in bold:
This ensures that the Office has regard to the Strategic Rail Authority’s financial position in respect of all of its functions.  It is a consequential amendment not picked up in the Transport Act 2000 arising from the creation of the Strategic Rail Authority in place of the Franchising Director.  The Authority’s financial position, unlike that of the Franchising Director, is not limited to discharging its functions under the Part of the 1993 Act referred to in the deleted words.
