operate, as respects particular matters specified by or 20 under the scheme, outside its own area either con- currently with, or to the exclusion of, the authority, if any, within the area of which the operation takes place ; (c) contain such incidental, consequential and transitional

provisions as may appear as aforesaid to be necessary 25 or expedient, including provisions amending or apply- ing, with or without modifications, any statutory provision.

(7) Nothing in the preceding provisions of this section shall be taken to require that all functions of the Commission relating 30 to the operation of the railways shall be entrusted to authorities set up under the scheme or as requiring that all functions of the Commission relating to the operation of the railways shall be dealt with in the scheme, and, in particular, the scheme shall be such as will, in the opinion of the Commission or, as the case 35 may be, of the Minister, reserve to the Commission general financial control and general control of the charges to be made for the services and facilities provided under the scheme.
