RIS-2713-RST Iss 1

This document sets out requirements and guidance to support the introduction and operation of multi-mode rolling stock onto the Great Britain (GB) mainline railway.

This new RIS draws on the learning from the first introductions and operation of multi-mode rolling stock on the GB mainline network. 

It will support the rail industry in the move to decarbonise through the introduction of multi-mode rolling stock.  It will also support the industry in making decisions about how to manage the process of changeover between power modes and in ensuring that the rolling stock and infrastructure supports this.
