Description |
A film produced for GMPTE to present the case for bringing a Light Rapid Transport system to Greater Manchester. William Woollard reports from Amsterdam on the success of the system there, and back in Manchester he tells us how Manchester could benefit from a LRT system in the same way. Cllr. Guy Harkin, Chairman of Greater Manchester PTE, explains why LRT is the best public transportation option for Greater Manchester. The commentary gives us further information about what LRT is and how it works and we see it in action in Amsterdam as a demonstration of how convenient and accessible it is. Tony Young, Principal Planning Officer at GM Transport, explains what the current problems with the public transport system in Greater Manchester are, and why LRT would be the best solution. Cllr. Guy Harkin ends the film with details of the support for the system from various institutions, and what the next steps will be in making LRT a reality for Greater Manchester. |
