Proceeding contribution from Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 February 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rail Vehicle Accessibility (London Underground Metropolitan Line S8 Vehicles) Exemption Order 2010.


Rail Vehicle Accessibility (London Underground Metropolitan Line S8 Vehicles) Exemption Order 2010

Yes, the penalties are in the legislation and the requirement to make vehicles compliant is part of the new franchises, so a train operator that failed to comply—as I said, we have no knowledge that there is likely to be any difficulty in this area—would be in breach of its franchise, with the implications of that for the continuation of the franchise.
