Suspension or withdrawal of certificates and driver prohibitionU.K.
20.—(1) Without prejudice to regulation 21, if the ORR considers that the holder of a train driving certificate no longer satisfies a condition required for the holding of it the ORR must—
(a)inform the railway undertaking or infrastructure manager which issued it of this view; and
(b)give that body a reasoned request for a review of the holder's eligibility to hold the certificate, or for the certificate to be suspended or withdrawn.
(2) Upon receipt of such a request the railway undertaking or infrastructure manager must consider it and, within four weeks, notify the ORR of its decision whether to suspend or withdraw the certificate or take any other action.
(3) Where the railway undertaking or infrastructure manager concludes that the holder no longer satisfies a condition required for the holding of the train driving certificate, it must take appropriate measures which may include—
(a)requiring the holder to undergo the relevant tests or examinations referred to in regulation 15; or
(b)suspending or withdrawing the holder's train driving certificate.
(4) Pending any suspension or withdrawal of the train driving certificate, or other conclusion on the request, the ORR may prohibit the holder from driving a train in Great Britain.
(5) If the ORR exercises the power in paragraph (4) it must inform the Commission, the other safety authorities, the Department for Regional Development and the Intergovernmental Commission.
