		For that matter, clauses 6 and 7 apply also to the 9in gauge railway capable of carrying passengers that runs through a park or one that is erected on a temporary basis for a particular event, such as a model railway exhibiton.
		It follows that all railways embraced by clauses 6 and 7 can be the subject of charges imposed as part of the licence conditions by the Secretary of State or the regulator.
		Voluntary railways had no idea until the day that the Bill was published that it would embrace them, and they are concerned to know the charges and licence arrangements to which they will be subject.

	Worth - a glance
		The drive home from York could either be direct, or leisurely (with a pub lunch???) - we chose the latter, and took the somewhat circuitous route to Oxenhope, terminus of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.
		The run down the valley is inevitably a gentle one, given the gradients.
		There in the loop was one of the smallest standard gauge passenger trains operating anywhere - the German-built (Waggon und Maschinenbau) four-wheel railbus, one of a set of five built in the early BR DMU era in the late 1950s.
