Railways

171: Agreement as to use of railway bridge for combined traffic

You could also call this:

“Old rule about sharing railway bridges no longer applies”

This part of the law used to be about agreements for using railway bridges for both trains and other traffic. However, it’s no longer in effect. The government removed this section on 1 April 1993 when they made changes to railway safety laws. You don’t need to worry about this rule anymore because it doesn’t apply now.
