The 2025 UK Light Rail Conference took place in Leeds on 22nd and 23rd July, bringing together experts and decision-makers from across the UK’s light rail sector. TSC staff attended the two-day event, which featured panel discussions and presentations on topics such as safety, the use of technology and AI in operations, global innovations in light rail, delivering world-class infrastructure, and creating inclusive tram networks.
The programme also showcased updates on light rail and tram projects from across the UK. A highlight was Coventry’s Very Light Rail System – a pioneering initiative introducing battery-powered vehicles and thin track technology, designed to significantly reduce costs and accelerate delivery.
