# The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Great Western Trains Company Class 180 Vehicles) Exemption Order 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles forming Class 180 diesel multiple-units trains, although they do not conform with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:
there is not the required headroom above the priority seats; and
the passageway between some wheelchair spaces and the toilet for disabled persons is narrower than permitted.
It sets time limits on the authorisation and imposes conditions.
