The rules on short-haul interswitching, which appear in section 127 of the act, will continue to apply to traffic transferring between a shortline to a class 1 railway. The provisions of the act that deal with short-haul interswitching will continue to apply for that kind of movement. If the distance is over 30 km, as already provided for in the act, ultimately, as Ms. Jones has pointed out, long-haul interswitching will not be possible if the railway is not a class 1.
