Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the order)

This Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles forming T68A Bi-directional Light Rail Vehicles, although they do not conform with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:

  • audible warnings are emitted whenever passenger doors in the vehicle sides are closed; and the gap between seat handholds and the seat itself is less than required by those Regulations.

It sets time limits and imposes a condition on the authorisation.
