Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This Order authorises Network Rail Infrastructure Limited to construct and maintain a new chord railway, linking the Castlefield Junction line with the Chat Moss lines in the Ordsall area of Greater Manchester, including alterations to existing railway infrastructure. The new railway will provide a direct link between the three main stations in Manchester (Victoria, Oxford Road and Piccadilly) and will enable trains from the east of England to reach Manchester Airport without crossing the West Coast Main Line to the south of Manchester Piccadilly. The Order authorises the acquisition of land and rights in land, and the use of land, for this purpose. Copies of the land plans, the works plans, the sections and the book of reference referred to in the Order may be inspected at the offices of the Company Secretary and Solicitor to Network Rail Infrastructure Limited at 1 Eversholt Street, London, NW1 2DN.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
