Revocation of orders under this Part of this Act.

9.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Minister may by order (in this section referred to as a revocation order) revoke, whenever he thinks proper, any order (in this section referred to as an original order) previously made by him under any other section of this Part of this Act.

(2) The following provisions shall have effect in relation to the making of revocation orders under this section, that is to say :—

(a) the Minister shall not make a revocation order without giving notice of his intention to make such order to the company affected by the original order intended to be thereby revoked and affording such company an opportunity of making representations to him in regard to such intended revocation order;

(b) the Minister shall not make a revocation order unless he is satisfied that, by reason of transport facilities alternative to the railway line affected by the original order not being or having ceased to be available, adequate transport facilities are not available to the public in the district served or formerly served (as the case may be) by such railway line;

(c) a revocation order shall operate to revive and re-instate every obligation imposed by this Part of this Act or an order thereunder which was in operation immediately before the making of the original order and was expressly or impliedly relieved against or removed by such original order.
