Trams provide a high quality service that is fast and smooth. They are proven to attract motorists from their cars. Trams are accessible to all. Their smooth movement is especially attractive to people with mobility impairment, who can find existing public transport difficult to use.

This environmentally friendly method of travel encourages civic pride and improves the quality of city life. Edinburgh is one of the few European capitals without the benefits of trams, something we intend to rectify.

By using state of the art technology for the track and trams we have made the tramway affordable by the private sector, without the need for government grants.

Our LR55 rail is laid directly into the road, without the need to divert underground services. This reduces costs considerably and allows the track to be laid more quickly than with other forms of track. There is less disruption while the track is being laid. A section of the track has been successfully carrying trams (and over 100 Heavy Goods Vehicles a day) in Sheffield, for six years. This track was installed to replace conventional track that was failing. An instrumented section of track was also successfully installed in Rotherham bus station where it survived the equivalent of many decades of service in a road. Further details of LR55 track.

Our lightweight trams use mass produced technology to reduce the cost to roughly half that of existing trams. Off the shelf, mass produced components like motors and axles are the key to a tram that performs like other trams while costing less. A prototype tram ran successfully in Blackpool for two years. Further details of the TRAM vehicle.

In September 2003 we announced a letter of intent from a UK customer for the TRAM. Further details.
