Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Noise Insulation (Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems) Regulations 1996 by adding procedures for predicting noise levels generated by “Eurostar” type trains including the version known as “Regional Eurostar” or “North of London”. Those procedures are described in “Calculation of Railway Noise 1995 (Supplement 1)” copies of which are obtainable by the public from The Stationery Office [ISBN 0 11 551873 8].
