Coventry is testing its Very Light Rail (VLR) service, an innovative transport solution with battery-powered vehicles and simplified rail installation. The project aims to prove the technology's feasibility, with a test track established for public rides. Limited free tickets are available for short rides, allowing users to experience the prototype firsthand. This VLR service is expected to reduce installation costs and street clutter. Beyond testing, Coventry is a notable destination worth visiting, easily accessible by rail from London.
If you fancy being a tester of a Very Light Rail service, then how about a day trip to Coventry?
Coventry's Very Light Rail is like a tram, but because its rails can be laid on strong concrete in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of a conventional tram.
Tickets are free, and available for a few weekends and dates in June.
When in passenger service, the vehicle will be able to carry up to 60 people.
