Transition to ROGS
When ROGS came into force in 2006, ROTS were revoked with the following transitional provisions, described in ROGS:
- For mainline operators, applications under ROTS were accepted until October 2006 with works due for approval and brought into use by October 2008.
- Works not completed by 1 October 2008 needed to be completed under ROGS and managed under the safety management system (SMS) or safety verification (SV) arrangements.
- For tramways and heritage railways works the dates were extended. New works had to be submitted to us under ROTS by 1 October 2008. Approval and bringing into use under ROTS would be given by 1 October 2010.
Details of safety certificates issued can be found under Safety certificates and authorisation.
