We regulate access to station and light maintenance depots by approving new station and depot access agreements and approving amendments to existing station and depot access agreements.
Our role in approving new access agreements and amendments to existing access agreements helps to ensure that the contractual terms for access to a station or depot are fair to the parties concerned, as well as to users of railway services.
