Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles which form part of Class 170/1 diesel multiple-units trains, although they do not confirm with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:

  • there is not the required exterior visual passenger information system, and

  • there are not enough wheelchair spaces.

It sets time limits on the authorisation and imposes conditions.
