  • Eastside Tram Extension Proposals
    Birmingham Friends of the Earth The Warehouse 54-57 Allison Street Digbeth Birmingham B5 5TH Tel: 0121 632 6909 Fax: 0121 643 3122 Email: [email protected] Web: www.birminghamfoe.org.uk Birmingham Eastside Tram Extension Consultation – Birmingham Friends of the Earth Response Introduction Birmingham Friends of the Earth is responding to Eastside Tram proposals as a city-wide environmental campaigning organisation. Our General Manager has responded to the consultation on behalf of us as a Digbeth based organisation. The Overall Plans Whilst Birmingham Friends of the Earth support improvements to public transport, we would prefer to see further extensions to the Metro done on a larger scale whole route basis, rather than piecemeal short extensions. As Greater Manchester has proven, creating whole extra lines to their Metrolink, they have created a successful, popular and viable tram network across the city. We are concerned that such small extensions will not create a critical mass of passengers to make the routes viable and well used. Serious consideration should be given to attracting funding to extend this proposed Metro addition to an established destination, where there is a significant population to use the new Metro line. Route Options Regardless of whether the line is extended further in the first instance (as we would prefer above) we would support the High Street route option. The High Street route allows a direct connection to Birmingham Coach Station from the city centre, providing transfer between different modes of public transport (just as the city centre links the city's rail stations to each other and other forms of public transport).
