(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order authorises the use of two specified rail vehicles on the Cairngorm Funicular Railway although they do not conform with certain provisions of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/2456, as amended by S.I. 2000/3215) because:
- the colour of the exterior doors does not contrast with that of the vehicle body; and
- there is no system for visual announcements on the front exterior of the vehicles.
Both exemptions expire on 31st December 2011. The Order also requires the floor surface of the passenger apartments to contrast with the platform surface at Base and Ptarmigan stations.
