APPLICATION TO THE OFFICE OF RAIL REGULATION FOR
A DEPOT ACCESS CONTRACT
UNDER SECTION 17 OF THE RAILWAYS ACT 1993
1. Introduction
This form should be used to apply to the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) for directions under section 17 of the
Railways Act 1993 (the Act) for a new depot access contract. Section 17 is the means by which those seeking the
right to use a railway facility apply for compulsory third party access if they have failed (for whatever reason) to
reach agreement with the facility owner.
The form sets out the ORR’s standard information requirements for considering such applications.
It is very important that the application is made in good time and prospective applicants are strongly advised to read
(and if necessary take advice on) the procedures which are laid out in the Act, (Section 17 and Schedule 4).
The Stations and Depots Team at the ORR will be happy to discuss prospective applications. Applicants are
strongly encouraged to contact the Office at an early stage, preferably before making an application, to discuss
their likely requirements. Contact details are shown at the foot of this form.
A copy of ORR's template depot access contract, can be accessed electronically and downloaded via the ORR
website (www.rail-reg.gov.uk).
