Dear Sir or Madam,
Woodlands Road station – Department for Transport request for ratification of
closure
1) Please find enclosed a notice ratifying the closure of Woodlands Road station. Under
its powers in s.32(9)(b) of the Railways Act 2005 (“the Act”), the Office of Rail
Regulation (ORR) requires Transport for Greater Manchester to display this notice at
the Woodlands Road station for a period of 4 weeks following the date of the notice.
2) I will today send a copy of the closure ratification notice to the operator of the station –
Transport for Greater Manchester, and to all the parties consulted by the Department
for Transport. A copy of the notice will also appear on the ORR website and will be
placed on the ORR public register.
3) In deciding whether to ratify this proposed closure, ORR has checked that the
Department for Transport has:
a) provided ORR with the appropriate documentation.
b) followed the consultation requirements laid down in the Act, and by the Railways
Closure Guidance issued by the Secretary of State on 18 October 2006.
c) reasonably applied the criteria for appraising such proposals, as laid out in the
Railways Closure Guidance.
d) concluded that the proposal represents good value for money, and that this
conclusion is reasonable.
4)
