Coventry residents can now book a ride on the city's 'revolutionary' Very Light Rail (VLR) system. The tracks are currently being completed on Queen Victoria Road, with RailAdventure UK recently announced as the project's operator. Coventry Live readers are sceptical as to how useful the project will be.

The VLR will run along a 220-metre demonstration track between Greyfriars Road and Queen Victoria Road for four weeks between May and the end of June. The prototype vehicle can accommodate up to 17 seated passengers, plus space for a wheelchair or pushchair user, once fully operational, the battery-powered vehicle will hold 60 passengers, both seated and standing.

The Coventry Very Light Rail project has been funded by the WMCA City Regional Sustainable Transport........
