First Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Train Driving Licences and Certificates (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Parliamentary debate

This delegated legislation committee is reviewing draft amendments to the regulations governing train driving licences and certificates. The committee will examine proposed changes to the rules that control who can hold a licence to drive trains and what certification standards apply, with implications for railway employment and safety standards across the sector.

These regulations directly affect the rail workforce and training standards across the UK rail industry. Changes to licensing and certification requirements could impact recruitment, training costs, and working conditions for train drivers, while also influencing passenger safety and operational standards across all train operating companies.
