Operators in this year's event included East Yorkshire Buses, National Express, First Bus, Go Ahead, Lothian Buses, Metroline and Trent Barton. The apprentice and fully qualified technicians faced tasks on buses including ADL Enviro 200, the S&B MAN coach chassis, a First Badgerline bus and test rigs. In addition, there were theory tests on laptops, electrical faults, diagnostics, wiring tasks and circuits and valve clearance tests. Body technicians performed a body panel repair and manufactured a sill section using MAG and spot welding. The second day of the three-day event featured a visit by Loveday Ryder (pictured above inset, at right), chief executive of DVSA, which sponsors the event. She told Transport Engineer: "I am an engineer - civil, not mechanical - but I rarely get to do anything practical." |
