(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order exempts certain rail vehicles of the type 09TS from specified requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/2456, amended by S.I. 2000/3215) where used on the Victoria Line.
The Order exempts the vehicles (article 3), subject to conditions (article 4) and to expiry of the exemptions (article 5), from requirements as to the period of time for audible warning of doors closing; as to passenger information inside passenger saloons whilst stationary at a station; the height of lettering on visual announcements in passenger saloons; and the provision of boarding devices on station platforms where there is a gap between the edge of the platform and the door sill of the rail vehicle.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument because no additional costs on business, charities or the voluntary sector are foreseen and the impact on the public sector is negligible.
