• A Taunton driver training agency is using an ex-Army bus to put students through both their Class III HGV and PSV tests.
Following a year-long campaign by owner Adrian Church the Bedford troop-carrier has been accepted by the Department of Transport as both a goods and passenger-carrying vehicle for test purposes. At one stage Church resorted to legal action because he says Marsham Street was holding back on giving him an answer. He believes it is the only vehicle of its kind in the country.
Church, who runs SDS Total Driving, says the main benefit of the dual-purpose vehicle is that trainees can practice for both tests in one vehicle, and sit both tests in it, almost one after the other.
