Coventry City Council has announced that the Very Light Rail project (VLR) is set to be expanded, it is currently being tested on Queen Victoria Road and Greyfriars Road. But Coventry Live readers are mainly sceptical about the project - wondering if it is worth the money.

Coventry's VLR has been dubbed an affordable public transport solution that is gaining recognition with its innovative, battery-powered vehicles that do away with the need for overhead wiring. When laying tracks 30cm into existing roads, installation in the city centre was completed in just eight weeks, according to Cllr Jim O'Boyle.

City residents are set to experience the new Coventry VLR system in June, but early testers have already had a taste of the future, with one local proclaiming it "the best thing Coventry could have ever wished for."
