Current EU regulations generally prohibit passenger and freight train operators from buying from and selling to each other train paths allocated by an infrastructure manager. The circumstances are set out in Regulation 19 of the Railways (Access, Management and Licensing of Railway Undertakings) Regulations 2016 (in Great Britain) and Regulation 19 of the Railways Infrastructure (Access, Management and Licensing of Railway Undertakings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 (in Northern Ireland).
