Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which rail vehicle accessibility regulations apply to (a) existing rolling stock on Northern Rail and (b) new rolling stock to be delivered for Northern Rail.
This question was answered on 9th March 2017
Accessibility standards for existing rolling stock operated on the mainline are set out in either the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations 1998 or the Persons of Reduced Mobility Technical Specification for Interoperability (PRM-TSI) (under the Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2011).
Newly built rolling stock which will enter in to service for Northern Rail must be built to the PRM-TSI standard.
