The Fleet & Engineering Department is part of the Operational Planning, Development and Support (OPDS) Directorate. The department serves the whole of the South Wales area including it’s fifty Stations and other sites.  It has provision for major works and over-hauls on-site and two/three mobile workshops to facilitate on-station inspections and routine repairs.

The main aims and objectives of the Department are to provide a high quality and cost effective Fleet Management and Vehicle Maintenance support service which meets the diverse needs of the Organisation.

As part of this process the Department obtained ISO 9001:2000 Accreditation during 2007.

Fleet & Engineering Services operates on a 24hr 365 days per year basis, providing around-the-clock emergency back-up in support of the Organisations operational activity.  There is a minimum of one Supervisor and two Technicians available at all times and additional resources available during spate (emergency) conditions or as needs dictate. 

In addition, the workshop technicians form part of the PDA (pre-determined attendance) at all major incidents.
