Light rail

<< Go Back

We offer strong expertise in the planning and implementation of light rail systems. We can provide scheme promoters with robust, impartial economic and financial appraisal of investment proposals, assistance with route selection, development of rail and light rail alignment and assessment of traffic management measures required. We prepare demand and revenue forecasts, including potential to switch from other forms of transport. We also support governments and transport authorities during the selection process for consortia to design, build and operate systems.

Light rail is one solution to the problem of rapid growth of populations and traffic in our towns and cities. The last few years have seen many examples of successful and well-used light rail networks in areas previously choked with traffic. Yet, at the planning stages, such schemes are often unpopular with local residents. We are highly experienced in the consultation process, involving the public and other stakeholders at all stages of the scheme's progress to implementation
