    A public consultation on revised proposals for the transposition of Directive 2008/57/EC on the interoperability of the rail system 1 October 2011 Contents Executive Summary 2 How to respond 2 Freedom of Information 3 The Consultation Criteria 4 What will happen next 4 The proposals 5 Longer term strategic issues 22 List of consultation questions 25 Annexes: A – List of those consulted B - The Consultation Criteria C – Draft Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2012 D - Transposition Note E – Draft List of Exclusions from Scope (GB) F – Draft Impact Assessment G – Directive 2008/57 (and updates) H – Commission Recommendation 2011/217 2 October 2011 Executive Summary i.) This consultation seeks views on draft regulations concerning the interoperability of the railways. These regulations are necessary to meet the requirements of the Interoperability Directive 2008/57/EC which recast earlier versions and the deadline for implementation was 19 July 2010. The recast Directive contained new provisions for type authorisation of vehicles. It also has provisions for the reauthorisation process for vehicles authorised in another Member State which have been moved from the 2004 Safety Directive into the Interoperability Directive. ii.) The draft regulations will implement the Directive for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The reauthorisation of vehicles for the UK half of the Channel Tunnel are dealt with in bi-national safety regulations. All other requirements in the Directive in relation to the Tunnel will be implemented through these draft interoperability regulations. iii.) This consultation builds on two earlier rounds of consultation which were published by the Department in 2009 and 2010.

  • Warwickshire Ring Rugby 14 Nights | UK Canal Boating
    UK Canal Boating Telephone : 01395 443545 UK Canal Boating Email : [email protected] Escape with a canal boating holiday! Booking Office : PO Box 57, Budleigh Salterton. Devon. EX9 7ZN. England. Warwickshire ring Rugby 14 nights Cruise this route from : Rugby View the latest version of this pdf Warwickshire-ring-Rugby-14-nights-Cruising-Route.html Cruising Days : 11.00 to 15.00 Cruising Time : 60.50 Total Distance : 105.00 Number of Locks : 121 Number of Tunnels : 6 Number of Aqueducts : 0 This route combines historic castles, like Warwick, daredevil rides at Drayton manor, toboganning or ski-ing in Tamworth, the Stairway to heaven at Hatton's 21 locks, Braunston's pretty canal village and much more. (May require a longer stay) or take a detour up the beautifully tranquil Ashby Canal if you are not stopping elsewhere. Are you looking for a holiday combining relaxing narrowboating with adventures on and off the water? One offering traditional ‘Olde English’ towns, cosmopolitan cities and memorable waterway sights? Then you will love the Warwickshire Ring. Sections of the Coventry, Oxford, Grand Union & Birmingham & Fazeley canals are components in the Warwickshire Ring which, despite the almost constant proximity of conurbation and industry, manages to carve a surprisingly rural route through manicured fields and ancient meadows for much of its length. Cruising Notes Day 1 The canal runs past Rugby through its northern side, missing the busy centre. The canal provides more striking examples of cast iron bridges and an aqueduct giving much to keep the eyes busy. The canal dips into green parkland and a golf course on the way out of Rugby, crossing over the River Avon before arriving at Hillmorton Locks.
