Although COVID cancelled last year's Challenge, the event returned this summer to S&B Automotive Academy in Bristol. Technicians from three new operators (Go South Coast/morebus, East Yorkshire Buses and Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach), alongside stalwarts Go Ahead London, Arriva, First Bus and others, competed on technical challenges within enhanced safety measures including hand wash stations, daily testing of participants and guests and social distancing. New this year was the first category for mechelec apprentices; it combined tests of mechanical and electrical skills. Four apprentices were in the running in that new category, including Metroline third-year apprentice Marlon Gammell (pictured, right). During a break, he gave his reaction to the event: "It's been an eye-opener. It tells you where you're at with your learning, and areas that you need to focus on." |
