Subsequent developments Section 50 of the act, and schedule 5 to it, which related to the qualification requirements for transport managers, were never brought into force.
The act has been substantially amended since it came into force. The Local Transport Act 2008 made significant amendments to the functions of the traffic commissioners under the act. Following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the Licensing of Operators and International Road Haulage (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 and the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) (Amendment) Regulations 2022 made further amendments to align the act with the new legal framework.
