|
6. Where any inspecting officer of the Board of Trade has reported to the Board, in pursuance of the sixth section of the Railway Regulation Act, 1842, that the opening of any railway or portion of a railway would in his opinion be attended with danger to the public using the same by reason of the incompleteness of the works or permanent way, or the insufficiency of the establishment for working such railway, together with the grounds of such opinion, and the Board of Trade have postponed the opening of such railway or portion of a railway in pursuance of such section for the period of one calendar month, it shall be lawful for the said Board, if it thinks fit, unless in the meantime it is stated by the Company to whom such railway belongs that all requisitions made by such inspecting officer upon his inspection of such railway or portion of a railway as being necessary for the safety of the public have been complied with, to direct the postponement of the opening of such railway or portion of a railway for a further period not exceeding one month without going to the expense of directing a further inspection to be made by the officer, and so on from time to time until the requisitions made by such officer have been complied with, or the said Board is otherwise satisfied that such railway or portion of a railway can be opened with safety to the public.
