Cardiff looks At A Tram Network

Cardiff appears to have various transport problems and a fair bit of congestion, so it is refreshing to see a well-thought out plan being proposed using trams to solve it. It all described here on the BBC’s web site as Cardiff Crossrail.

It may not be ideal and it may just stay in the planning stage, but at a proposed cost of £200 million it would appear to be affordable.

it also seems to make good use of existing infrastructure, which is obviously the way to go. The new London Overground showed that you get value-for-money by this approach and what money you do spend, can be concentrated on what the customers see, like the trains and the stations.

I shall be interested to see how the planning of this project progresses.
