  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles forming Class 357 multiple-units although they do not conform with provisions 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 sensors;\nthe door control devices for doors in the sides of the vehicles are positioned above the maximum permissible height;\nthe vehicles have neither the required minimum number of priority seats nor any tables at these priority seats they do have;\nthe vehicles have no public address systems;\nthe structure at the end of each wheelchair space is narrower than the required minimum width;\nthe wheelchair space alarm is not always operable by the palm of the hand.\nIt sets time limits on the authorisations and imposes conditions.\nIt incorporates the provisions of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (LTS Rail Class 357 Vehicles) Exemption Order 1999, which is revoked.",
