This document relates to the Railways (Revocation and Consequential Provision) Regulations 2024 statutory instrument (SI) which:

  • revokes several pieces of assimilated law
  • makes amendments to existing legislation consequential on those revocations

This document includes details of the:

  • regulations that are being revoked
  • purpose of those regulations and why they are being revoked

The revocations in this SI include:

  • legislation prescribing the format of rail accident investigation reports, which is overly bureaucratic and removes flexibility from the Rail Accidents Investigation Branch to tailor investigations to a particular circumstance
  • provisions relating to EU rail technical standards which are no longer relevant following EU exit
  • duplication and overly prescriptive requirements that apply to the access arrangements which govern operator access to the track and rail facilities
