Title: Very Light Rail demonstration model at Ironbridge
Post by: johnneyw on October 10, 2021, 19:49:36
Interesting news about not only an urban/local rail demonstration model from Eversholt but a new test/demonstration facility at Ironbridge.  Should Vivarail be looking over their shoulder here I wonder?

They purchased quite a few old D Stock units, in the low hundreds, if memory serves well.  It was a bit of an aside question but I was wondering if there was some potential overlap here with D-train.
Good to see innovation in this sector though.
