The Coventry very light rail (CVLR) represents a breakthrough in urban transport with its silent, battery-powered design and innovative wheel system. As cities like Manchester and Nottingham revive tram networks, new funding of £15 billion announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves aims to extend urban tram lines, including substantial support for Leeds. This funding is crucial for developing integrated transport systems in cities lacking fixed transit options, emphasizing the importance of trams' passenger capacity and reliability, as highlighted by West Yorkshire mayor Tracy Brabin.
Battery-powered trams have no overhead wires, allowing for a smoother integration into urban landscapes and making them a crucial advancement for modern public transport.
Tracy Brabin emphasizes that having reliable tram services will enhance public transit, as they can carry more passengers and provide predictable travel times.
