Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order authorises the use for carriage of specified rail vehicles forming part of the fleet of Class 170/3 diesel multiple-units even though they do not conform with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/2456, amended by S.I. 2000/3215) because:

  • the priority seats are higher from the floor than is permitted by the regulations; and more force than is permitted is required to operate the folding nappy-changing table which is situated in the wheelchair accessible toilet.

The Order imposes a condition and time limits on the exemptions.
