  • 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.
