(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order authorises the use of specified rail vehicles of Classes 175/0 and 175/1, although they do not conform 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 sides of vehicles are closed;
there is no step illumination;
the unobstructed space beneath tables in wheelchair spaces is less than 700 millimetres;
the hinged handrail in toilets, which are provided for disabled persons in wheelchairs, has a curve with an inside radius of less than 50 millimetres.
It sets a time limit on the authorisation and imposes a condition.
