UKTram supports undergraduate research exploring perceptions of light rail

UKTram is supporting undergraduate student Lewis Drury-Tuck in his dissertation research examining public perceptions of light rail systems and their wider impact on towns and cities. The study explores how the public views the role of light rail in areas such as economic development, regeneration, and modal shift, alongside wider attitudes towards sustainable urban transport.

As part of the project, Lewis is inviting members of the public and those working across the transport sector to complete a short survey to gather insights into perceptions of tram and light metro systems in the UK.

Complete the survey

The research forms part of Lewis’s undergraduate dissertation and aims to contribute to the wider discussion on the social and economic role of light rail within modern transport networks.

Supporting learning and emerging voices across the sector remains an important part of UKTram’s commitment to knowledge sharing and to encouraging engagement with light rail and sustainable transport.

UKTram would like to wish Lewis the very best with the final stages of his dissertation.
