Fact Sheets Index
|
The index below lists the Fact Sheets currently available.
LRTA Fact Sheets have been drawn up under the auspices of the Association's Development Group and cover most issues involved in the selection of light rail and tramway systems, vehicle and infrastructure, design and technology choices and considerations, operational practices and experience and other issues of interest to those campaigning for improved public transport or in environmental or urban planning issues related to transport.
Some of the Fact Sheets are now out of date due to the passage of time - all those listed are believed to be still relevant though obviously the date of publication (shown in table) should be borne in mind when reading or using them.
The LRTA and/or the Authors reserves the copyright in respect of the Fact Sheets on this website. Prints may be taken and reproduced provided acknowledgementof the source is given.
These Fact Sheets have previously been circulated to LRTA officers and other interested parties. For this reason they will not be altered in the light of subsequent events. Where relevant additional information or corrections are received this information will be added as a footnote to the Fact Sheet. This will be indicated by "+" in the "+" column. The source of the information will be indicated unless otherwise requested. Any other changes or additions will be indicated by a # mark.
Note: To produce documents under the title of 'Fact Sheets' is a time consuming process due to the need to check the accuracy of the information. This has led to a considerable delay in distribution. Fred Andrews, the author of most of the series, felt that this delay meant that in some cases the impact was being lost and requested that a more responsive system of production was required. To this end a new series under the title of 'Discussion Documents' has been devised which although in the same format as the 'Fact Sheets' are not subject to the same scrutiny and should be subject to less delay. See the Discussion Documents index for further details
