how long ago would TOCs have known about the requirements that come into force in 2020?
That's a very good question, and difficult to answer.
The legislation was made in 2000. But Train Operating Companies have been labouring under the misapprehension that it doesn't ever apply to rail replacement buses. They perhaps became sharply aware of the fact that in many cases the regulations do apply to such, last week when the Office of Rail and Road wrote to them.
