| Industry: Upgrade of Leigh Guided Busway October 2020 | Light Rail (UK) believe that Leigh, Atherton & Wigan lack of quality public transport leads to congestion, serious transport air pollution, and transport poverty which can best be tackled by provision of high-quality steel on steel street running public transport. It will also help futureproof connectivity for epidemics that have been advised to follow Corvid 19
This is also a serious opportunity in the proposed rebalancing of the North - South Economy especially in the “Red Wall Constituencies” This can be provided by “Build Back Better” and TfN as part of the "Rail North" proposals must include light rail and tramways, each mode providing optimal service for varying traffic flows. The essential requirement is full integration of modes, in terms of interchange and through ticketing, allowing seamless journeys. Trams and light rail should form an essential component of our public transport provision especially connections in the East with Manchester Metrolink and eventually West to Liverpool City Region

| Industry - Parry People Mover | So, you have a marvellous idea for a new form of light rail. You have attracted investors, raised the capital and built a prototype (or several). Your product is highly versatile and can be supplied in ‘railway’ or ‘tramway’ form. In each case you could be talking about existing infrastructure or a new route. What’s more, there are several forms of existing infrastructure – for example, the ‘railway’ form of your vehicle could operate on parts of the national network or on independent railways, including heritage lines that have the potential to act as public transport corridors. | Light Rail |
