            A rail infrastructure manager –

                 (a) must identify and assess, so far as is reasonably practicable, risks to safety that may arise from railway operations carried out on or in relation to the manager's rail infrastructure and that may so arise because of, or partly because of, the existence or use of any rail or road crossing that is part of the road infrastructure of any road, other than a public road; and

                 (b) must consider whether it is necessary to manage those risks in conjunction with the road manager in relation to that road and –

                    (i) if the rail infrastructure manager is of the opinion that it is necessary that those risks be managed in conjunction with the road manager, must give written notice of that opinion to the road manager and must determine measures to manage, so far as is reasonably practicable, those risks; or

                    (ii) if the rail infrastructure manager is of the opinion that the management of those risks does not need to be carried out in conjunction with the road manager, must keep a written record of that opinion; and

                 (c) unless paragraph (b)(ii) applies, must, for the purpose of managing those risks, seek to enter into an interface agreement with the road manager in relation to that road.

              (1) The responsible road manager in relation to a public road –

                 (a) must identify and assess, so far as is reasonably practicable, risks to safety that may arise from the existence or use of any rail or road crossing that is part of the road infrastructure of that public road because of, or partly because of, railway operations carried out on or in relation to rail infrastructure; and

                 (b) must determine measures to manage, so far as is reasonably practicable, those risks; and

                 (c) must, for the purpose of managing those risks, seek to enter into an interface agreement with the rail infrastructure manager of the rail infrastructure.

              (2) If, under section 61B(b), a rail infrastructure manager gives a written notice to a road manager in relation to a road that is not a public road of an opinion that certain risks need to be managed in conjunction with the road manager, the road manager –
