- Der Transport Act 1962 war ein im Jahr 1962 von der britischen Regierung unter dem konservativen Premierminister Harold Macmillan erwirktes Gesetz zur teilweisen Reprivatisierung des Schienenverkehrs. Die mit dem Transport Act 1947 gegründete (BTC) wurde aufgelöst und zum 1. Januar 1963 der British Railways Board gegründet. Ende 1960 hatte Britisch Rail ein akkumuliertes Defizit von ca. 500 Millionen £. Mit dem Transport Act 1962 sollte der Schienenverkehr teilweise wieder privatisiert werden. Der Transport Act 1962 führte in der Praxis zur beinahe sofortigen Schließung eines Drittels der Schienenstrecken in Großbritannien. Zugleich wurde die Zuständigkeit für die Wasserstraßen an das British Waterways Board übertragen. (de)
- The Transport Act 1962 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Described as the "most momentous piece of legislation in the field of railway law to have been enacted since the Railway and Canal Traffic Act 1854", it was passed by Harold Macmillan's Conservative government to dissolve the British Transport Commission (BTC), which had been established by Clement Attlee's Labour government in 1947 to oversee railways, canals and road freight transport. The Act established the British Railways Board, which took over the BTC's railway responsibilities from 1 January 1963 until the passing of the Railways Act 1993. The Act put in place measures that enabled the closure of around a third of British railways the following year as a result of the Beeching report, as the Act simplified the process of closing railways removing the need for pros and cons of each case to be heard in detail.
