A specially commissioned documentary has been launched to recognise the huge positive impact modern tramways can have in key UK cities.

Featuring successful systems in the areas including the West Midlands, Nottingham, Manchester and Edinburgh, the film also showcases the economic argument for investment in light rail and can be viewed here.

Commissioned by UK Tram, the organisation representing the country’s light rail sector, it’s also packed with facts and figures illustrating the popularity of trams amongst the travelling public.

An essential guide to other areas considering investment in light rail, the film highlights the effectiveness of trams to reduce congestion, improve air quality and attract investment while delivering a swift, frequent and reliable way to get around our modern cities.
