  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles forming Class 170/5 and Class 170/6 diesel multiple-units, although they do not conform with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:\nwarning sounds are emitted whenever the passenger doors in the sides of the vehicles are closed;\npassenger operation of some doors is by means of beam operated door sensors;\nsome of the door controls are not at the required height; and\nthe interior visual public address systems does not display the required information\nIt sets time limits on the authorisation and imposes conditions.\nCentral Trains previously had certain exemptions for some of the vehicles covered by this Order by virtue of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Central Trains Class 170/5 Vehicles) Exemption Order, which is revoked by this order.",
