There are plans to Install a new bral tester in Peterborough, but Imperial t put them on hold while it looks at the advantages and potential drawbac of becoming an Authorised Testing Facility (ATF) there.
"VOSA tends to prefer ATFs to ha drive-through bays," he says. "Ours aren't, but they are 25m long so we would be able to put in a full-length lane," However, much will depend on ho much testing would be done if Impel was willing to make all the necessar) investment. ''VOSA has said it can definitely give us one day a week bu we'd really need two," he says.
Then there is the future of VOSA's test station in the city to consider. At1 time of writing, an announcement ha yet to be made.
Trucks submitted for test by the 2.3-acre seven-bay Peterborough branch have been achieving a 91% pass-rate year to date, rising to 93% the 1.6-tp-1.7-acre three-bay Norwic site. "In recent weeks both branches have been achieving 100%," he say
How about becoming an ATF in Norwich? "It just wouldn't be practiez there," he replies.
