- The Amalgamated Company constituted under the Railways Act, 1924.

- This right exists as long as concessions and advantages (including special proportions in division of receipts from traffic) previously given to the Dublin and South Eastern Railway Company are continued by agreement.
- The nominated director is an addition to, not a replacement for, other directors appointed under the Railways Act, 1924.
- Nominations can be made at any time after the Amalgamated Company is formed, and the nominated director has the same rights as other directors.
- The London Midland and Scottish Railway Company can withdraw and replace its nominated director at any time.
