The latest three-day UK Light Rail Systems Overhead Line training course has taken place in Doncaster with participants from Siemens and South Yorkshire Supertram benefiting and strengthening their practical skills and knowledge in maintaining tramway overhead equipment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Delivered by Skillstep Group it combined theory with practical training and assessment, introducing participants to vital aspects of light rail OLE and related urban safety requirements. Includes was health and safety, OLE components and terminology, maintenance practices and the tools and documentation used in light rail systems.<\/p>\n
Phill Terry, Lead Engineer at UKTram, said: \u201cAfter the success of the first course, we were pleased to welcome another group of light rail professionals to Doncaster and see them engage directly with the equipment. We know that there are challenges in releasing staff for extended periods, so the course is structured to deliver theoretical and practical learning in three days. Feedback has been very positive, and we hope participants return to their organisations with valuable knowledge and experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the course participants were able to put their learning into practice using a low-level training span, gaining hands-on experience working with contact wire, inline components and tensioning assemblies under instruction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
