Oxford
Street Jam Buster (London)
SUSTRACO
proposes a ULR Tram system running the length of Oxford Street. It
would provide connection with five Underground Lines at four stations and
will relieve congestion on part of the Central Line. Intense service will
allow the
removal of all road traffic during shopping hours. Zero emission
trams provide a radical improvement to the environment for shoppers,
workers and residents alike.

Constanta
(Romania): SUSTRACO
with the assistance of The National Centre
for Development has proposed the reopening of a disused tram line in
the second city of Romania. The proposed tramway
project is for the rehabilitation of an existing tram route (the Route)
which connects the Railway Station in the southern part of the City with
one of the gates of the Port, known as Poarta 6, which provides access to
the southern part of the Port. Part of the Route runs parallel to one of
the largest Boulevards in the City, “1st of May Boulevard”,
which provides the main route out of the City in the direction of Eforie
and Mangalia. The Route (known originally as the 104 route) was
commissioned at the end of 1996 and ran from that date until it was
suspended in February 2003.
Cheltenham
famous for its' horse racing could be famous for its high quality tram
system. SUSTRACO is working closely with the University, Chamber of
Commerce and other interested parties. The first section of route
would connect the race course to the mainline railway in the town.
Using a disused railway alignment
that was last used in the 1960's, this follows on from A revolutionary
project, conceived jointly between Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce and
Professor Frank Chambers, Head of the University of Gloucestershire’s
Centre for Environmental Change and Quaternary Research, come second out
of 26 university entrants in a national competition for innovation and
reducing carbon emissions.
Rainham
Marshes (RSPB) Green Tram Project: SUSTRACO has been working with The
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds at Rainham Marshes in Essex.
The project is to introduce a ULR tram route to connect the visitor centre
to the local rail network by use of a tram powered by biogas from a local
closed landfill site. In the longer term the project could be connected
at both ends to form a sustainable tram system for the whole area contributing
to a reduction in emissions, car use etc whilst maintaining peace and
quite for the birds.
SUSTRACO
is providing expertise to a consortium that has been awarded a contract by
LB of Havering in relation to a sustainable transport study as part of
"WILDSPACE FOR A WORLD CITY" London Riverside Conservation Park
The flagship GREEN SPACE for Thames Gateway.
