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.
The Railway and Other Guided Transport System (Safety) Regulations 2006 Industry Liaison Group
We set up an industry liaison group for ROGS in May 2006. This acted as a steering group to provide advice and guidance for the rail industry during the implementation of ROGS. The group disbanded in October 2007.
