Use of codes
If the reason for withdrawal is not specified, codes 10, 20 and 30 are to be used to indicate the change of registration status.
If the reason for withdrawal is available, codes 11, 32 and 33 are options available within the NVR database. These codes are based solely on information provided by the keeper or owner to the RE.
Registration issues
A vehicle that has its registration suspended or withdrawn may not operate on the UK railway network under the recorded registration.
A reactivation of a registration after suspension will require the verification by the registration entity of the conditions which caused the suspension.
A transfer of registration under the conditions set out in the OPE NTSN, consists of a new registration of the vehicle and subsequent withdrawal of the old registration.
