Brussels Metro to Grow As Pre-Metro Shrinks
BRUSSELS METRO TO GROW … AS PRE-METRO SHRINKS by Geoffrey Skelsey The recent announcement that preliminary work was to start on the extension of Brussels Metro line 3, and the conversion to Metro operation of the existing tram-worked pre-metro line, makes it timely to review the story of the line, and of the pre-metro concept. This will be the latest development in a conversion programme which began in 1976 on line 1, followed in 1988 on line 2. THE BIRTH OF THE ‘PRE-METRO’. The pre-metro is often thought to have originated in Belgium and (West) Germany, but it is a sad reflection on a lack of impetus in British transport projects that amongst the earliest formulations of a system of tram subways linking segregated suburban feeder lines occurred in Leeds and Glasgow around the end of the Second World War. The Leeds transport manager, W. Vane Morland, after pre- war study tours in Sweden and Boston, drew up proposals in 1944 for intersecting tunnels below the city centre leading to a network of high-quality suburban tramways (or ‘light rail lines’ as they would now be called). The city went some way towards achieving the second part of the project, with ‘express’ tramways extending east and south of the city, and other planned, some of which were completed as late as 1949. Exploratory work was undertaken by the City Engineer, including trial borings for tunnels extending east-west and north-south, with a two-level interchange station below City Square. In 1948 Eric Fitzpayne, Glasgow’s enterprising transport manager, produced similar plans, with the important addition of proposals to reuse underexploited local railways with tram-type vehicles. -

TYNE & WEAR METRO A1.1 The Tyne and Wear Metro was the first modern light rail scheme opened in the UK, coming into service between 1980 and 1984. At a cost of £284 million, the scheme comprised the connection of former suburban rail alignments with new railway construction in tunnel under central Newcastle and over the Tyne. Further extensions to the system were opened to Newcastle Airport in 1991 and to Sunderland, sharing 14 km of existing Network Rail track, in March 2002. -

Control and Evaluation
European Investment Bank European Union Loans concluded for capital investment within the European Union in 2003 totalled 34 187 million (see detailed breakdown in table below). The corresponding operations were financed from own resources – made up chiefly of the proceeds of the EIB’s capital market borrowings as well as its own funds (paid-in capital and reserves). These operations give rise to financial commitments for the Bank and are accounted for in its balance sheet. The EIB cooperates closely with a large number of financial institutions and commercial banks, with which it concludes global loans for financing small and medium-scale projects in the industrial, service, health, education and infrastructure sectors. It also grants individual loans through the intermediary of banks and financial institutions.
