- W622973871 abstract "This article discusses the light rail (LRT) systems already operating in the UK, and their problems, and considers the future of LRT in the UK. Over 50 British towns and cities have examined the possibility of introducing or reviving LRT schemes. Most of these proposals failed, usually because they were uneconomic or lacked financial support. LRT now seems to be justified only in large conurbations. The first scheme to be implemented was the Tyneside Metro, which has operated successfully between Newcastle and Tynemouth for 15 years; it has 59.5km of route which could be extended by another 17.5km. The London Docklands Light Railway, opened in 1987, has automated trains and 21.7km of route, to be extended by 4.5km. Manchester's Metrolink came into service in 1992, and uses trams which run through streets in the city and along old railway lines; it has one 31km line and plans four more lines. The South Yorkshire Supertram in Sheffield opened in 1994, now has 22km of route, and will soon have 29km. The Midland Metro between Birmingham and Wolverhampton is expected to open in 1998, and the Croydon Tramlink and Leeds Supertram are scheduled for 1999. LRT systems are expected in Portsmouth, Nottingham and Strathclyde in 2000." @default.
