  • 2 the Birmingham CITY Centre Extension Scheme
    2 The birmingham CITY Centre Extension Scheme 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter of the ES sets out the objectives of the scheme and also describes: • the main features of light rail transit (LRT) schemes; • the potential benefits of LRT schemes such as Midland Metro; • the proposed route and design of the proposed scheme; • the way in which the scheme will be constructed and operated; and • the main alternatives that have been considered. 2.2 FEATURES OF LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT SYSTEMS 2.2.1 What is Light Rail? The exact origination of the term “light rail” is unclear. However, it was reportedly first used in the 1960s in order to avoid the American terms “trolley” and “streetcar” or the British “tram” and “tramway”. There are a number of definitions of light rail systems in existence. However, “light rail” commonly refers to electric railway systems constructed during the 1970s or later. They are characterised by an “ability to operate single or multiple cars [trains] along exclusive rights-of-way at ground level, on aerial structures, in subways or in streets, able to board and discharge passengers at station platforms or at street, track, or car-floor level and normally powered by overhead electrical wires” (). 1.2.2 Key Characteristics of Light Rail Schemes The development of LRT systems in Europe and the USA began in the latter half of the last century, principally in response to the advance of the private car and the consequent increase in congestion and car ownership within cities. There was, as a result, a need for a change in the function of public transport, such that it could offer the ability to: • travel distances longer than buses and traditional tramways, but shorter than heavy railways; • deliver public transport services on a regional rather than an urban scale; and • compete with the private car on a door-to-door basis in terms of comfort and speed.

  • Building Birmingham: a Tour in Three Parts of the Building Stones Used in the City Centre
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 2 Building Birmingham: A tour in three parts of the building stones used in the city centre. Part 2: Centenary Square to Brindleyplace Ruth Siddall, Julie Schroder and Laura Hamilton This area of central Birmingham has undergone significant redevelopment over the last two decades. Centenary Square, the focus of many exercises, realised and imagined, of civic centre planning is dominated by Symphony Hall and new Library of Birmingham (by Francine Houben and completed in 2013) and the areas west of Gas Street Basin are unrecognisable today from the derelict industrial remains and factories that were here in the 1970s and 80s. Now this region is a thriving cultural and business centre. This walking tour takes in the building stones used in old and new buildings and sculpture from Centenary Square, along Broad Street to Oozells Square, finishing at Brindleyplace. Brindleyplace; steps are of Portland Stone and the paving is York Stone, a Carboniferous sandstone. The main source on architecture, unless otherwise cited is Pevsner’s Architectural Guide (Foster, 2007) and information on public artworks is largely derived from Noszlopy & Waterhouse (2007). This is the second part in a three-part series of guides to the building stones of Birmingham City Centre, produced for the Black Country Geological Society. The walk extends the work of Shilston (1994), Robinson (1999) and Schroder et al. (2015). The walk starts at the eastern end of Centenary Square, at the Hall of Memory. Hall of Memory A memorial to those who lost their lives in the Great War, The Hall of Memory has a prominent position in the Gardens of Centenary Square.
