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 Class 168/1 diesel multiple-units, although they do not conform with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:

  • warnings sounds are emitted whenever the passenger doors in the side of the vehicles are closed;

  • some doors do not have manual door control devices;

  • some door controls are not positioned as required.

It sets time limits on the authorisation.
