QuoteProbably not for a while. The current vehicles being used don't have the equipment installed.what about the 75**? Did they come into service after 1st October?
Those E400MMCs were first used in March 2015, therefore they are not expected to be compliant with the new Accessible Information Regulations until October 2025.
The Platinum E400s do have the necessary equipment, but they too don't need to be compliant until next year. NX will likely at some point want to get all the stop announcements recorded.
