Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether section 14 of the Railway Regulation Act 1842 is used by Network Rail to gain access to tenanted railway arch premises.
It is not standard practice for Network Rail to use section 14 to obtain access to tenanted railway arches. Network Rail has obtained access to a tenanted archway once in the last five years in order to maintain the integrity and safety of the railway.
