BRISTOL TRAMS REPORT

CAMPAIGN group TramForward has welcomed a new report showing how trams could return to Bristol. The study by the Moving Bristol Forward Campaign states that Bristol needs a new mass-transit system to ease gridlock and clean the air. Detailed appraisal of three essential tram routes shows they are economically viable and there are no engineering or traffic management barriers to installation. The report suggests that the routes are suitable for ‘new generation’ trams that would cost up to 50% less per kilometre than conventional tram systems.
