Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will list the (a) light rail and (b) tram schemes which are planned and which could be open by 2010. [17131] Ms Keeble: It is for local authorities to develop proposals for light rail or tram schemes in the context of their local transport plans. The following schemes are already under construction or have received full approval: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Scheme Timetable Sunderland Extension to Tyne and Wear Metro Under construction, due to open March 2002 Nottingham Express Transit Under construction, due to open in 2003 Three extensions to Manchester Metrolink{1} Approved, construction should begin in 2003 Leeds Supertram (Three lines) Approved, construction should begin in 2003 South Hampshire Rapid Transit Approved, construction should begin in 2003 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. {1} Oldham-Rochdale, Airport and Ashton-under-Lyne In addition, we have given provisional approval to two extensions to the Midland Metro system in Birmingham. The promoters are now seeking the necessary powers under the Transport and Works Act 1992 (TWA). The Docklands Light Rail extension to City airport has also received provisional approval, subject to TWA powers being granted. At present, we are considering proposals for the Bristol and South Gloucestershire light Rapid Transit scheme; a further extension to the Manchester Metrolink to Stockport; the Merseytram project and an upgrade of the Blackpool tramway. Transport for London is consulting on options for intermediate-mode transport for four corridors: East London transit, Uxbridge road, Cross River transit, and Greenwich waterfront. We are aware of a significant number of schemes that may in future be proposed by authorities, including extensions to existing systems. The investment plans set out in the 10-year plan for Transport contain provision for up to 25 new light rail lines in major cities and conurbations in England outside London.
