name of "Director of Public Transport" as registered proprietor.

(2) If the Director, on behalf of the Crown, disposes of or otherwise deals
with any land held in the name of "Director of Public Transport", any

dealing must be made in the name of "Director of Public Transport".

        under the operation of that Act; and

   (b)  is not under the operation of the Transfer of Land Act 1958, it may be
        brought under the operation of that Act.
