The Railways Regulations 1998
These Regulations implement Council Directive 91/440/EEC of 29 July 1991 (OJ No. L237, 24.8.91, p. 25) on the development of the Community’s railways and Council Directives 95/18/EC and 95/19/EC of 19 June 1995 on the licensing of railway undertakings and on the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the charging of infrastructure fees (OJ No. L143/75, 27.6.95, p. 70—75). They revoke the Railways Regulations 1992 and the Railways (Amendment) Regulations 1994 (which originally implemented Council Directive 91/440/EEC), and amend certain provisions of the Railways Act 1993 in relation to licensing of operators of railway assets and access rights. With the exception of paragraphs 6 to 8 of Schedule 2, the Regulations do not apply to Northern Ireland.
