File:The Crossrail (Paddington Station Bakerloo Line Connection) Order 2014 (UKSI 2014-310).pdf

English: This Order authorises Crossrail Limited to construct and maintain a passenger subway linking the proposed Crossrail Station at Paddington, authorised to be constructed under the Crossrail Act 2008 (“the Act”), to the London Underground Bakerloo Line platforms. For these purposes the Order confers powers, compulsorily or by agreement, to acquire land and rights in land and to use land. The Order also applies provisions of the Act through section 48, which permits any order promoted under the Transport and Works Act 1992 relating to a proposed extension of Crossrail, or to the provision of a railway facility connected with Crossrail, to apply any provision of the Act, with any modifications necessary, or to provide for any provision of the Act to have effect as if the extension were part of Crossrail. In this way, the provisions in the Act relating to the power to stop up streets, execute street works, the carrying out of alterations to the highway and other miscellaneous ancillary matters are applied to the works authorised by the Order. In addition a number of protective provisions for the benefit of protected undertakers, as provided for in the Act, are applied to such undertakers affected by the works authorised by the Order.
