In my home town, Stavanger, the same discussions go on.<br /><br />Here, LRT are planned as well, and they are at about the same stage in the planning process as Victoria. Here too, there is a great debate on how the LRT should be laid in the current railway tracks or not. The experts wants it separate, but have a hard time explaining it to the people that train and LRT is not the same. <br /><br />Check out this map of the plans in Stavanger: http://goo.gl/yygwf<br /><br />The first building stage will be Stavanger to Sandnes, the rest will come later.<br /><br />Notice how it goes almost parallel to the railway tracks. With more stops, slightly different route and slower speed, it will, however, reach a lot more people, and compete more with cars and bus than what the train does.<br /><br />Official site of the Stavanger LRT:<br />http://goo.gl/atFCv<br /><br />So Victoria isn't alone. Keep up the good work, get the bridge built and get both E&N and LRT to work independently and complimentary. If I could vote, I'd send a vote in your direction. =)Kjetilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299555872026419119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878072117828142274.post-21241930783888377002012-02-06T18:31:46.920-08:002012-02-06T18:31:46.920-08:00Comment posted to wrong date/issue.
