Light rail tipped to reduce car use in Manchester

posted Wednesday 20 September 2006

International Railway Journal reports (September issue) that an expansion of the Manchester, UK, light rail system will relieve traffic congestion by taking 10 million car journeys off the road each year. APT is hopeful that such claims might be of interest to the politicians seeking election in traffic-choked Sydney in just six months time.

IRJ also reports the appointment of Brisbane based railway observer John Hoyle as its Australian Regional Editor. John was Convener of Action for Public Transport from 1977 to 1980.
