3. Subject to articles 4 and 5, the exempted vehicles are authorised to be used for carriage even though they do not conform with regulation 14(b), in so far as it applies to the deployment of a folding nappy-changing table in any toilet cubicle to which regulation 20 applies.

Expiry

4. The exemption given by article 3 shall cease at the end of May 2019.

5. The authorisation given by article 3 shall cease immediately in respect of any exempted vehicle if the diesel electric multiple-unit of which the exempted vehicle forms a part is operated by a person other than Hull Trains Company Limited unless the Secretary of State has been given written notice in advance specifying the name and address of that other person.
