UK Tram is strengthening its position as the leading voice of the nation’s light rail sector with the launch of a new website today (Tuesday, November 27).

The organisation’s online presence has been revamped to reflect its vital role in promoting light rail as an effective transport solution in modern cities.

It’ll also provide a valuable resource for its members – including operators, manufacturers, contractors and consultants – helping them to keep up to date on the latest industry news whilst sharing best practice.

James Hammett, UK Tram Managing Director, explained: “These are exciting times for the sector and we intend to remain at the forefront of efforts to promote existing tramways and other light rail systems.

“At the same time, we provide a central point of contact for other areas looking for best-value public transport solutions to help resolve congestion and other environmental challenges.

“The new website will help us to achieve these aims whilst giving members access to a wealth of information, including the latest technical advice and guidance notes.”

As well as sporting a new, crisp, clean look, www.uktram.com includes a members’ forum, business directory and information on a number of working groups shaping the future of the sector.

James added: “We’re delighted to launch the new website that represents the next step in our evolution as the authoritative voice of the light rail sector in the UK and Ireland.”
