The Public Service Vehicles (Registration of Local Services) (Franchising Schemes Transitional Provisions and Amendments) (England) Regulations 2018

These Regulations make provision about local services with stopping places in England only, and cater for the transition of the bus market into, and out of, franchising. They make provision about registrations, variations and cancellations when a franchising scheme has been made but before sections 6 to 9 (registration of local services) of the Transport Act 1985 (“1985 Act”) cease to have effect in a franchising scheme area. They also make provision which enable services which could not otherwise be registered when a franchising scheme is in operation, to be registered, varied or cancelled, and provide that the relevant notice period in relation to such services expires when a service no longer has a stopping place in any franchising scheme area.

The Franchising Schemes (Service Permits) (England) Regulations 2018

These Regulations make provision in respect of permits to provide bus services in areas where a bus franchising scheme is in place. A bus franchising scheme is a scheme under which certain local authorities in England decide which bus services they consider appropriate for their area. (At the moment only mayoral combined authorities can make a franchising scheme.) These bus services are provided under local service contracts and bus operators in the area can only provide the services in accordance with the local service contracts. However a franchising authority may also grant a service permit authorising the operation of a bus service in the area of the scheme, for example a service that crosses the boundary of the scheme area. The authority must grant a service permit if they are satisfied both that the service will benefit passengers in the area and will not have an adverse effect on other services that are provided under the franchising scheme. If they are not satisfied about these matters, they must not grant a service permit.

The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2018

These Regulations are part of a package of measures to transpose Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom laying down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation and repealing Council Directive 89/618/Euratom, 90/641/ Euratom, 96/29/Euratom, 97/43/Euratom and 2003/122/Euratom (the Basic Safety Standards Directive). Most of the transposition measures are being dealt with by amending or replacing existing statutory instruments. These Regulations transpose provisions of the Basic Safety Standards Directive relevant to the environmental permitting regime as it applies to radioactive substances activities, by amending the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/1154) (the 2016 Regulations). These Regulations also make amendments not required for transposition but which removes unnecessary regulatory burdens.
