The Act
Part 4 – Ticketing Arrangements and Schemes
Application of ticketing arrangements and schemes to trams – section 47
319.Section 47(1) provides that the ticketing provisions in Chapter 3 of Part 2 of the 2001 Act (as amended and extended by sections 41- 46 of the Act) apply to tramway services. The exception to this is the provision contained in section 32(2) of the 2001 Act (ticketing arrangements to be treated as prescribed particulars for the purposes of registration of local bus services) which is excluded by section 47(2) of the Act.
320.Subsection (3) provides a definition of “tramway” and subsections (4) and (5) make consequential amendments to the Edinburgh Tram (Line One) Act 2006 and the Edinburgh Tram (Line Two) Act 2006, repealing section 54(2) of each Act on the basis that they are superseded by the provision made in subsection (1).
321.The effect of section 47 is to ensure that the ticketing provisions in the 2001 Act continue to apply to Edinburgh Trams and to allow for their application to any new tramway services which may be proposed in the future.
