RSSB▸ (Rail Safety and Standards Board) have been working on three new standards, specifically for heritage railways. An industry consultation has now finished, and publication is due by the end of the year.
Quote
We are helping people involved in the engineering, operation and maintenance of heritage rail vehicles with a suite of new standards designed to help them meet these requirements for use on the national rail network.

Three new standards are undergoing consultation with the rail industry and heritage interests.

    RIS-4472-RST – Technical requirements for heritage vehicles
    RIS-2003-RST – Certification of heritage vehicles
    RIS-3440-TOM – Operation of heritage trains

The current schedule would see these standards published in December 2017, subject to industry giving final agreement and sign-off via the relevant standards committees.
