Very light rail plans move forward

摘要

Plans for a very light rail service in Coventry have moved a step closer, with researchers from WMG (at the University of Warwick) recently unveiling early vehicle concept designs to representatives from Coventry City Council. The project - supported by the Government's Local Growth Fund through the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership and West Midlands Combined Authority Devolution Deal (which is subject to approval of the business case) - is set to better connect the City with a 'state of the art' rail system that will be cheaper, quieter and more environment-friendly than anything currently available.
