Transport Act 2000
The Transport Act 2000 was a transport infrastructure law enacted in 2000 by the British government under Prime Minister Tony Blair .
He not only laid the legal basis for the introduction of road user charges. The British Railways Board , founded with the Transport Act 1962 , which had been stripped of a large part of its tasks with privatization, was also dissolved. With the Transport Act 2000, the decision on route closures again lay entirely with the Ministry of Transport. The Strategic Rail Authority was established as an authority that oversaw rail transport in the UK, but also set the overall strategy and granted operating concessions.
