"Whether it is labelled light rapid transit, light rail or tram, this
mode of transport is popular with passengers. It is also good for
economic growth and good for reducing carbon, both key objectives of the
Coalition Government.
"During more than a century of development, light rail has proved
itself an effective and efficient means of taking large numbers of
passengers directly into and around the heart of a city, connecting
communities and supporting businesses. The fact that, even against a
uniquely difficult financial backdrop, we have announced since May 2010
our financial support for a number of light rail extensions in England
demonstrates very clearly our belief in the benefits that light rail can
provide."
