It sets a time limit of one year on one exemption from those provisions and imposes conditions, the most significant of which is to require notification to the Secretary of State of a relevant injury in any part of a rail vehicle to which this Order applies.
For reasons of clarity, this Order incorporates, to the extent that they are not spent, the provisions of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Croydon Tramlink Class CR4000 Vehicles) Exemption Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/6), which is revoked.
[2] S.I. 1998/2456, to which amendments have been made which are not relevant to this Order.back
