Key findings --Introduction -- A brief introduction to the legislation -- The railway industry in the UK -- Pollution sources and routes -- Who might be liable? -- Environmental policies and good practice -- Risk management -- Discharge of dangerous substances to water
Summarises a study looking at the legislative framework, the overall structure of the railway industry in the UK, the potential sources of pollution, the responsibilities for pollution, the availability of guidance on good practice, and actions that may need to be taken. Although the study that led to this report focused on railway activities in mainland Britain, the guidance is also likely to be applicable elsewhere in the European Union.
