SHARE

Coach and bus operators are among those parties invited by the Institute of Transport Administration (IoTA) to the opening of its new training centre in Sandy, Bedfordshire, on Saturday 27 July.

The event will take place from 1030hrs for an 1100hrs start at the premises of Cozy Travel, at which the training centre is located. Also marked on the day will be the 40th anniversary of the operator and the 80th anniversary of IoTA.

Senior Traffic Commissioner Richard Turfitt will perform the opening ceremony before giving a presentation alongside JMW Solicitors Head of Commercial Road Transport Laura Hadzik.

Other presentations at the informal gathering will include updates from DVSA Head of Regulatory Services and Transformation Caroline Hicks and from Earned Recognition National Account Manager Phil Breen.

DVSA will also display a stop vehicle and give attendees the opportunity to see new technology as it demonstrates its Hades-5 under-vehicle inspection robot.

IoTA was founded in 1944 and retains its original objective by dedicating itself to career development in the field of transport management and the promotion of education to serve the continuing requirement for transport professionals.

Its membership represents all modes, with the Institute saying that it is “able to continually offer management solutions in response to the day-to-day needs of the transport industry.”

Other exhibits will include a vintage coach from Dews Coaches of Somersham and the UK’s first diesel-electric hybrid coach in the form of an Irizar i4H integral (pictured) that is part of the Cozy Travel fleet. A battery-electric lorry and an AEC Routemaster double-decker bus have also been invited.

The event will close at 1600hrs. It is to be held at 6 Gateshead Close, Sandy, SG19 1RS. While all operators are welcome, guests have been asked to pre-register by contacting IoTA via email or by calling 0207 167 3271.

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."
