      "text": "S.I. 2006/397, as amended by S.I. 2007/3386. S.I. 2006/397 was also amended by the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1746), but as those amendments came into force on 7th July 2008 they are not relevant to paragraph (3)(a)(i). Regulation 40(6) of S.I. 2006/397 provides for authorisations under the Railways (Interoperability)(High-Speed) Regulations 2002 (2002/1166) to be treated as an authorisation under S.I. 2006/397. Consequently the reference in paragraph (3)(a)(i) to a unit being authorised under the Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2006 does not include a unit deemed to be authorised by virtue of regulation 4A of those Regulations, but does include a unit that was previously authorised under the Railways (Interoperability)(High-Speed) Regulations 2002."
