Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles forming Class 375 electric multiple-units, although they do not confirm with certain requirements of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 because:

warning sounds are emitted whenever the passenger doors in the sides of the vehicles are closed,

passenger operation of some doors is by means of beam operated door sensors,

some door control devices are not at the correct height,

some door control devices require more force to operate them than is permitted,

the visual public address systems do not display the required information,

some letters or numbers on visual display screens on the front of some vehicles cannot be displayed at the required size.

It sets some time limits on the authorisation and imposes conditions.
