Publication Date: 1st May 2008
This guide is intended to summarise the mechanisms by which GB Railway Undertakings manage vehicle change. It covers:
· New trains
· Modified trains
· Trains new to a route
It explains what a Railway Undertaking needs to do according to the law, contract, standards and good practice. It is not intended to fill in detail but rather to give an overview of, and pointers to, the various documents of law and guidance issued by the various authorities and how the new, simplified regime all fits together. More detailed guidance on the Interoperability and ROGS Regulations has previously been published by ATOC.
