(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles forming Class 460 electrical multiple-units, although they do not confirm with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:
doorway warning sounds cannot be heard outside the vehicle;
warnings are emitted whenever the passenger doors in the side of the vehicle are closed;
door controls are not positioned as required;
the amount of pressure needed to operate the door controls is greater than permitted;
internal door controls are not illuminated;
no illumination is provided for steps;
the seats and the spaces around them do not meet the required dimensions;
transparent surfaces do not have the required coloured markings;
handrails at external doors are not positioned as required;
the gap between certain handrails and the surface on which they are fixed is too small;
the characters for the internal visual announcements are smaller than required;
there are too few wheelchair spaces;
there are no tables in the wheelchair spaces;
a disabled person cannot wash and dry their hands without moving from the toilet;
it is not possible for a disabled person to move to the toilet seat from a wheelchair placed at the side or the front of the toilet;
there is no hinged handrail beside the toilet in the toilet cubicle provided for disabled persons in wheelchairs.
It sets time limits on the authorisation and imposes conditions.
