Last chance to show off your skills in coach and bus 

Don’t miss your chance to step up and show that your team has the technical talent to beat the best in the coach and bus business.

This year’s IRTE Skills Challenge has sparked an impressive range of entries. Companies that have been long-time supporters of the competition will be competing against some fresh faces entering for the first-time. All are determined to show off their talent and demonstrate their commitment to training.

There is still time to step up and show just what you and your team can deliver when it comes to the crunch. Each year, the industry’s premier showcase of technical talent sees the sector’s engineering stars compete in a series of electrical, mechanical and bodywork challenges to find the best in coach and bus.

Event partner S&B Automotive Academy, one of the country’s leading providers of automotive training and assessment services, is once again backing the event hosted at its Bristol HQ. Long time sponsors Knorr-Bremse and FCL were also quick off the mark to bring their support for 2023, demonstrating their commitment to standards and safety.

One of the competition’s stand-out winners from last year was Craig Perkins, Engineering Apprenticeship Manager at National Express, who scooped the IRTE Skills Challenge Master Technician Award. He said that the competition is a must-attend for his teams.

Craig adds: “The competition shows the level required to be at the top of your trade. Apprentices can see areas that they may need to develop, and for experienced engineers, it can also get your brain working on things you may not have seen for some time.

“Also, being in the competition with other people from different companies allowed us to communicate about our different ways of working. It helps share knowledge and ideas which can improve you as a person and help the company you work for grow in the way it operates.”

Can you match the skills of Craig and his team?

Testing Week itself takes place at S&B Automotive Academy in Bristol on 5-9 June 2023 with each team attending on one day only. The Awards Lunch for all entrants will be held at Jaguar Experience Castle Bromwich on 7 September 2023

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
