Bedford Tramway Design Research Project
 
  Bedford Tramway project graphically describing a basic network

With the United Kingdom gradually becoming more aware of environmental effects of pollution, the clean and green towns and cities are re-opening their eyes to tram power. Tramways used extensively on the continent have had much influence on our new, and potential new tramways. Manchester now has a fully functional tramway, as does the Docklands Light Railway in London. There are soon to be tramway introductions to Sheffield, London (Wimbledon-Croydon-Beckenham) and Dublin.

Disused railway lines and potential building onto the roads create little problem for existing traffic flow, in theory. The choice then to reduce the more local(in town) bus services may also become available.

The areas of the project that have been covered are...

Logotype
Type Specification
Tram Livery
Mapping System
Signage
Applications for the above

The aim of the project was to create a tramway service in Bedford, a town I am familiar with and have researched fairly extensively on the subject. It appears to be suited for this.
