Are you sure?


No. The Crossrail Act 2008 refers to it, for a start.

57 am.- Tpt. 1962 (c.46), s.32, sch.2 pt.III; 1968 (c.73), s.156(2),
sch.16 para.7; Tpt.(London) 1969 (c.35), s.17, sch.3
para.2(1)(2); London Regional Tpt. 1984 (c.32), s.67(2)(3),
sch.4 para.8(2)(3)(d).

Which also doesn't mention repeal. I haven't looked at any of the acts
listed there, but they are listed as amending, rather then repealing,
so i assume they don't fundamentally nobble section 57.


The LRT Act simply transfers certain functions from "the Executive" to
LRT. So I agree that it's still in force.
