The Crossrail Bill does not exempt a named company -
it exempts "the franchisee in respect of a franchise
agreement for one or more
Crossrail passenger services."

That seems like a moot point.. a bit like claiming that a law which exempts
"fast food companies based in the forecourt of East Finchley Station" is not
specifically exempting McDonalds. But IANAL.
