Part 16: General and Miscellaneous

Schedule 20: Rail vehicle accessibility: compliance

Paragraphs 5 to 12
Penalty for using rail vehicle otherwise than in conformity with accessibility regulations: paragraph 6
Effect

946.This paragraph makes similar provisions to paragraph 5 but in respect of vehicles used in a way which does not comply with the operational, rather than technical, requirements of accessibility regulations. For example, a regulated rail vehicle may have appropriate equipment to assist a disabled person in getting on or off the vehicle, such as a lift or ramp, but no member of staff is available to operate it.
