Details

This document explains how the UK plans to comply with the persons with reduced mobility (PRM) technical specification for interoperability.

Interoperability is a European initiative enabling the railway to compete more effectively with other forms of transport, particularly road transport. It can contribute to reducing costs and provide safe and uninterrupted movement of trains across Europe. It does this through establishing common checking and authorisation processes.

For the purpose of the Persons with Reduced Mobility National Technical Specification Notice, this implementation plan continues to apply.
