  • Abstract
    In this paper, the author describes the difficulties faced by Hitachi in obtaining all necessary statutory and regulatory safety approvals for the new Class 395 CTRL Domestic Services EMU (“Project Javelin”). The current rolling stock safety approvals process is detailed together with the complex, numerous and often conflicting requirements of the approvals stakeholders. Finally, the author describes his own personal opinions on how the system could be streamlined without compromising safety.
