- W640487579 abstract "In a report to the West Midlands (UK) Passenger Transport Authority (WMPTA), Centro seeks approval to extend the Midland Metro light rail network along suitable high-volume routes. The district councils have suggested 14 further schemes for consideration. Some of these schemes have been eliminated and others further evaluated on such bases as operating costs, current evaluation criteria set by the Department, Transport and the Regions and the criteria of the West Midlands Local Transport Plan. The criteria for the evaluation of each corridor are given and comparison made with likely demand. The document lists future plans for individual lines; four routes have been selected for early development. Pertinent questions deal with support for further expansion of the Midland Metro, the viability of metro corridors in the light of further development, support for other routes and the availability of funds. The article describes the actions of the Strategic Rail Authority over the Central Rail Authority and its relationship with the different franchise holders. Some major projects are noted, such as solving the capacity problems of Birmingham (UK) New Street station, quadrupling the West Coast Main Line and the sharing of facilities on the Walsall-Stourbridge (UK) railway. In conclusion, the author discusses factors that influence the further development of local rail service, the role that can be played by light rail, the need for political support and convincing potential passengers that the line offers a viable alternative to the car." @default.
