Docklands Light Rail

http://www.dlr.co.uk/




DLR is the light rail system linking East London, Docklands, Greenwich, Lewisham and the Millennium Dome with central London. Now under the umbrella of Transport for London (TfL), this is a well-designed and comprehensive site, with background information about the DLR, and sections covering areas such as the history and technology of DLR; tickets and travel; tourist information; press releases; and feedback. The site also features full details about all the latest DLR proposals - extensions to London City Airport (opening December 2005), Woolwich, Barking, Dagenham and Stratford - with information about project background, routes, consultation, and environmental issues. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 12 Aug 2005].

London Trams

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/trams/



Part of the Transport for London website, London Trams brings together information about the existing Tramlink service (replacing the separate Croydon Tramlink website), the proposed West London and Cross River Tram Schemes, and possible Tramlink extensions. Presently, Croydon Tramlink operates 24 trams over 28 kilometres (18 miles) of track in Greater London, with trams serving the centre of Croydon and radiating out from there to Wimbledon, New Addington, Elmers End and Beckenham Junction. The site includes useful background information such as Tramlink company information and a reports archive, together with maps, timetables, links and other information for passengers.

Nottingham Express Transit (NET)

http://www.nottinghamexpresstransit.com/




NET describes itself as "the modern tram system which will help ease congestion, enhance the environment, promote regeneration and improve access - all of which will help to build on Nottingham's vibrancy and booming economy". Opened in March 2004, Line 1 of the system runs from Hucknall, through former mining communities and inner city areas, before reaching the city centre and terminating at Nottingham railway station. Badged as a "historical archive of the three year construction of NET Line One and how it fits into Nottingham's transport strategy", the site is packed with interesting information; features include all the latest news, and full details about the tram system and its construction; information about the tram's operation - such as timetables and fares - is available from a separate site at http://www.thetram.net/. The NET site will certainly delight tramspotters, but anyone with an interest in modern light rail systems will find it a valuable and informative resource. Awarded a Sapling Commendation.
