Consultation description
The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non-Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010 set standards for the accessibility features of a rail vehicle operated on particular types of rail systems. The Secretary of State for Transport has powers under section 183 of the Equality Act 2010 to allow operators of regulated rail vehicles to continue to operate a vehicle if it does not fully comply with the standards set in the schedules to these regulations.
We are seeking feedback on an application by London Underground Limited for an exemption to certain requirements of the regulations relating to:
- the number of wheelchair spaces
- the provision of manual boarding ramps
- the location of the interior door handrail
- the audible announcements
