REGULATION OF RAILWAYS ACT 1873 - SECT 14

Publication of rates.

14. Every railway company and canal company shall keep at each of their
stations and wharves a book or books showing every rate for the time being
charged for the carriage of traffic, other than passengers and their luggage,
from that station or wharf to any place to which they book, including any
rates charged under any special contract, and stating the distance from that
station or wharf of every station, wharf, siding, or place to which any such
rate is charged.

Every such book shall during all reasonable hours be open to the inspection of
any person without the payment of any fee.

The Commissioners may from time to time on the application of any person
interested, make orders with respect to any particular description of traffic,
requiring a railway company or canal company to distinguish in such book how
much of each rate is for the conveyance of the traffic on the railway or
canal, including therein tolls for the use of the railway or canal, for the
use of carriages or vessels, or for locomotive power, and how much is for
other expenses, specifying the nature and detail of such other expenses.

Any company failing to comply with the provisions of this section shall for
each offence, and in the case of a continuing offence, for every day during
which the offence continues, be liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds,
and such penalty shall be recovered and applied in the same manner as
penalties imposed by the Railways Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845,... are for
the time being recoverable and applicable.
