Dear Mr Sunderland
Woodlands Road station – Department for Transport request for ratification of
closure
1)I am writing further to your letter of 16 April 2013requesting ratification of the proposal
to close Woodlands Roadstation.
2)Please find enclosed a notice ratifying the closure of Woodlands Roadstation. The
Office of Rail Regulation (ORR), under the power granted in s.32(9)(b) of the Railways
Act 2005 (“the Act”), requires Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) to display the
ratification notice at Woodlands Roadstation for a period of 4 weeks following the date
of the notice.
3)I will today send a copy of the closure ratification notice to the operator, and to all the
parties consulted by the DfT. A copy of the notice will also appear on the ORR website
and will be placed on the ORR public register.
4)In deciding whether to ratify this proposed closure, ORR has checked that the DfT 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.
