# The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Anglia Railways Class 170/2 Vehicles) Exemption Order 2000, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles forming Class 170/2 diesel multiple-units, although they do not conform with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:
warning sounds are emitted whenever the passenger doors in the sides of the vehicles are closed;
passenger operation of some doors is by means of beam operated door sensors; and
some of the door controls are not at the required height;
It sets time limits on the authorisations and imposes conditions.
Anglia Railways previously had certain exemptions for the vehicles which are the subject of this Order by virtue of The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Anglia Railways Class 170/2 Vehicles) Exemption Order 1999, which is revoked by this Order.
