  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order authorises the use of T69 vehicles numbers 1 to 16 on Line 1 of the Midland Metro System although they do not conform with the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:\nsome handrails are not fitted at the required height;\nsome handrails are too far apart from one another;\nnot all the required audible and visual announcements are given; and\nsome characters used on visual displays are not the required size.\nIt sets time limits on the authorisation and imposes conditions.\nThis Order consolidates and replaces, to the extent that they are not spent, the provisions of:\n(1) The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Midland Metro T69 Vehicles) Exemption Order 1999.\n(2) The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Midland Metro T69 Vehicles) Exemption (Amendment) Order 1999; and\n(3) The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Midland Metro T69 Vehicles) (Exemption No. 2) Order 1999.\nThe only change of substance is the termination date for one of the exemptions from 31st March 2001 to 30th June 2001.",
