(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Heathrow Express Class 360/2) Exemption Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/86) which authorises the use of specified rail vehicles even though they do not conform with the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/2456, amended by S.I. 2001/3215). The Order authorises the use of additional vehicles in the Class 360/2 fleet of electric multiple-units because the carpets in the vestibule do not contrast sufficiently with the carpets in the adjacent passenger saloon.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for the instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
