What is happening?
THE TRANSPORT AND WORKS ACT 1992
THE NORTHAMPTON AND LAMPORT
LIGHT RAILWAY (AMENDMENT)
ORDER 2023
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN under section 14(4) of the
Transport and Works Act 1992 (“the Act”) that the Secretary
of State for Transport has determined under section 13(1)
of the Act to make, with modifications, The Northampton
and Lamport Light Railway (Amendment) Order 2023 (“the
Order”). The Order was applied for by the Northampton
Steam Railway Limited (“the Company”) of 30 Harborough
Road, Kingsthorpe, Northampton NN2 7AZ.
The Order makes provision for consequential amendments
to the Northampton and Lamport Light Railway Order
1995 reflecting an extension to the railway the Company
is authorised to operate and maintain southwards as far
as Boughton.
The Order authorises the Company to temporarily restrict
the use of a public footpath that runs over the extended
railway to operate a level crossing. This will enable the
level crossing that has been constructed to come into use
to accommodate the passage of a train when the railway is
in operation.
The Order does not authorise the carrying out of any works
or the acquisition of land.
Copies of the Order, once made, may be obtained from the
Stationery Office or through booksellers and can also be
found at https://www.legislation.gov.uk/.
The Secretary of State has, pursuant to section 14(1)(a) of
the Act, given notice of this determination by way of a
decision letter dated 19 December 2023, copies of which
may be obtained from the Transport Infrastructure Planning
Unit, Department for Transport, Great Minster House,
33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR. That letter gives
the reasons for the determination and the considerations
upon which it is based; information about the public
participation process; and information regarding the right
to challenge the validity of the determination and the
procedures for doing so.
