I make the following order under sections 7 and 49 of the Rail Infrastructure Act 2007.

This order may be cited as the Rail Infrastructure (Rail Network) Order 2024.

This order takes effect on the day on which its making is notified in the Gazette.

The Acts Interpretation Act 1931 applies to the interpretation of this order as if this order were regulations.

In this order, the Rail Infrastructure Act 2007 is referred to as the Principal Act.

Schedule 1 to the Principal Act is amended by omitting item 5 from Part 1 and substituting:

The South Line (being the railway running from McVilly Drive to Western Junction, other than – the part of that railway that forms, under the Strategic Infrastructure Corridors (Strategic and Recreational Use) Act 2016, the strategic infrastructure corridor, known as the South Corridor from Elwick Road to Mentmore Street, designated on Plan 10597 in the Central Plan Register; and the part of that railway from the Bridgewater causeway on the south side of the River Derwent to Granton, as designated on Plan 11477 in the Central Plan Register).
