PRE METRO OPERATIONS

We’re proud to be operating one of the most effective, efficient, and frequent
light rail services in the UK today – the renowned Stourbridge Shuttle. For
nearly eighteen years, we have been an active part of the community and
providing the best service on this line.

We’re committed to people and the environment, collaborating with leading
innovators in the UK’s light rail sector to foster a brighter, cleaner, and
greener future for everyone.

We’re eager to work with you to forge connected, vibrant communities across the
West Midlands and beyond.

VERY LIGHT RAIL – VLR

VLR or Very Light Rail is a lighter, smaller tram. The vehicle we use to provide
the passenger service between Stourbridge Junction and Stourbridge Town is known
as a VLR system.

LIGHT RAPID TRANSIT – LRT

LRT or Light Rapid Transit is the description for tram systems often seen in
larger towns and cities. The Midland Metro system that operates in Wolverhampton
and Birmingham can be described as LRT.

PROPOSED NEW ROUTES


STOURBRIDGE TO BRIERLEY HILL

We have been promoting a new shuttle service from Stourbridge Junction to
Brierley Hill. Utilising existing freight lines, we believe that a passenger
link would be hugely beneficial to many people and local businesses. This
proposal has received great support from both the local community and key
political figures alike.


OSWESTRY TO GOBOWEN

We support the reinstatement of the branch line to connect Gobowen Railway
Station with Oswestry, including The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic
Hospital, representing a significant step in enhancing public access to
essential services and facilities. Cambrian Heritage Railways is currently
working to establish a full business case.


COVENTRY VLR

We are keen advocates for the Coventry VLR scheme. This innovative urban
transport system is designed for Coventry and features lightweight,
battery-powered vehicles running on cost-effective, low-impact tracks; aiming to
provide efficient, eco-friendly transit, reduce congestion, and promote
sustainability within the city.


IRONBRIDGE TO TELFORD

The establishment of a bidirectional VLR system from Ironbridge to Telford
aligns with the area’s redevelopment goals and local Revolution VLR project. It
promises to alleviate congestion, particularly during peak tourist seasons,
offering a sustainable transport alternative that respects and supports the
area’s World Heritage status.


WALSALL TO LICHFIELD VIA THE NATIONAL ARBORETUM

Our vision for the Walsall to Lichfield line is a pragmatic yet innovative
approach, where Very Light Rail passenger services could initially serve the
route, with the flexibility to transition to heavy rail as demands and resources
evolve, representing our philosophy of Upcycling: the transition of railcars
across the extended development of services.


MARCH TO WISBECH

The mothballed Bramley branch line presents us with an incredible opportunity to
establish VLR services between Fenland’s economically disconnected Wisbech – one
of the largest towns in the UK without local access to the railway - and the
nearby market town of March – with volumes of traffic and personal vehicle usage
deemed a public health hazard in 2020.
