# The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Hull Trains Class 170/3) Exemption Order 2004, Note: Explanatory note


(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.
