CILT has always taken a keen interest in the most flexible form of rail-borne transport, light rail. London currently has two light rail systems, the expanding Docklands Light Railway and the new Croydon Tramlink network.

In 1994, CILT published the results of a major study of the potential rôle of street-running trams in London: Street Trams for London. The report launch was followed by a conference, papers from which can be read here, along with others generated by the study.
Now we are considering the whole range of intermediate public transport systems, which could radically improve London's travel system at much less cost than new Underground lines. A state-of-the-art review is in progress.
Part of this work has involved consideration of articulated buses,which are to be tried out in London. More on this will be posted shortly.
