Explanatory Memorandum
The main purpose of this Bill is to alter the arrangements giving the Peak Tramways Company Limited the right to run and operate the Peak tramway over the land on which the tramway is constructed (clause 2), and to enable the company to charge such fares as it thinks fit for the use of the tramway (clause 8).
2. The new section 2A in clause 2 gives the company the right to run and operate the tramway for 20 years with effect from I January 1984 subject to the payment of a premium of $2,600,000. The repeal of sections 21 and 21A (which provide for the payment of a permit fee) by clause 7 is consequential.
3. The amendments in clauses 3. 4. 5. 6,9,10 and 11 bring up to date the provisions of the principal Ordinance. The amendments do not make substantial changes.
4. The new section 22 in clause 8 enables the company to fix the fares for single journeys and the charge for monthly tickets. The charge for a monthly ticket is not to exceed 25 times the lowest fare for a full distance single journey, provided that the minimum charge is $100 for an adult and $50 for a student under the age of 16 years. The amendment in clause 12 (to delete the existing table of fares) is consequential.
