Rail Vehicle Accessibility (B2007 Vehicles) Exemption Order 2008

I, too, am pleased to support this exemption order. I have used the Docklands Light Railway and believe that it is almost a platinum model which many other railways would be wise to follow. When we consider disabled access and possibly a revision of the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations, to which the Minister referred, we always have to have regard not only to the cost of doing the work but to whether, with limited money available, that money would best be spent here or in many other places where accessibility is a good deal worse. As I said, I think that the Docklands Light Railway is almost an exemplar and there would be no great difficulty in disabled people using the trains. Therefore, I am pleased to support what the Minister has said.
