Does anyone know about the British Transport Commission Act 1949? I
am told that it prevents anyone obtaining an easement over land owned
by the BTC or their successors. The Land Registry says "Since the
passing of the British Transport Commission Act 1949, it has not
been possible to acquire a right of way by prescription over land
owned by the
commission and forming an access or approach to, among other things,
any
station, depot, dock or harbour belonging to the commission (s.57,
British
Transport Commission Act 1949). The references to the commissionmust
now
be read to include successor rail authorities and the BritishWaterways
Board."

I cannot find any version of the act and am wondering if anyone has
the precise text?
