Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Julie Kirkbride (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 21 March 2006 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Light Rail/Trams (Funding)

Question
Is any consideration being given to restoring the tram service to Birmingham? That would greatly improve congestion for those who go into the city every morning. Some of the routes for the tram service that was withdrawn still exist, and could be used for the new service.
Answer

As the hon. Lady probably knows, Centro has submitted a scheme. It is also one of the regions that have involved themselves in the transport innovation fund. We will decide on its proposals in due course, when we know the details.
