Railways Act (various countries)

Railways Acts are laws that govern the operation and management of railway systems within a country. They set rules for ownership, safety standards, safety protocols, tariffs, and the rights and responsibilities of railway operators and users. These laws ensure safe, efficient, and fair railway services, regulate stations and infrastructure, and address issues like accidents, accidents compensation, and land use. Different countries’ Acts reflect their unique needs but generally aim to facilitate reliable train transportation, promote safety, and ensure compliance with national standards.
