(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 30 of the Railways Act 2005 provides for a closure procedure where there is a proposal by a funding authority to close a station. Section 38 of that Act enables the exclusion of stations from that procedure and article 2 of this Order excludes the station at Forres, in the local government area of Moray, from the procedure. The station at Forres is being relocated as part of the Aberdeen to Inverness Rail Improvement Project.
No business and regulatory impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations as no impact upon business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
