[F1 134E Making of scheme E+W

(1) If, after consulting in accordance with section 134D, the authority or authorities decide that it is appropriate to make the scheme, they may make it as proposed or with modifications.

(2) If the scheme applies to tickets within section 134C(4)(d), it may only be made with the agreement of the operators of the connecting rail or tram services concerned.

(3) The scheme must specify the date on which it is to come into operation, which must not be earlier than three months after the date on which it is made.

(4) Not later than 14 days after the date on which the scheme is made, the authority or authorities must give notice of the making of the scheme—

(a) in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in the area to which it relates,

(b) to a traffic commissioner,

(c) to all operators of local services or services for the carriage of passengers by railway or by tramway (or by both) who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by it, and

(d) to the Secretary of State if it applies to tickets within section 134C(4)(d).

(5) The notice must set out the terms of the scheme and the date on which it is to come into operation.

(6) The authority or authorities to whose area or combined area the scheme relates may vary or revoke the scheme.

(7) If the proposed variation would result in the scheme relating to all or part of the area of another local transport authority, the reference in subsection (6) to the authority or authorities includes that other authority.

(8) The variation or revocation is subject to the same procedure as the making of the scheme and in the application of that procedure—

(a) a reference in sections 134C(1) to (9) and 134D and subsections (1) to (5) to making a scheme is to be treated as a reference to varying or revoking a scheme,

(b) a reference in those provisions to the proposed scheme is to be treated as a reference to the scheme as proposed to be varied or to the proposed revocation of the scheme, and

(c) a reference in those provisions to the date on which a scheme comes into operation is to be treated as a reference to the date on which the scheme as varied comes into operation or the date on which the scheme comes to an end.]
