Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Locomotives and Waggons (Used on Lines and Sidings) Regulations 1906 by substituting measurements expressed in metric units for measurements not so expressed. The substituted measurements preserve the effect of the original provisions except to the extent necessary to obtain amounts expressed in convenient and suitable terms.

Regulation 3 provides that the amendments do not relate to plant which was in existence or under construction immediately before the coming into operation of these Regulations if that plant complied with the then existing requirements.
