letter to Mayor Claire Ward Oct 2026 A Fair Appraisal of VLR for Derby Dear Mayor Claire Ward, We ask EMCCA to commission a proportionate pre-feasibility and options study that includes worldwide operational VLR as a genuine, shortlisted option for Derby. Light Rail UK welcomes EMCCA’s ambition for a reliable, integrated transport system connecting people with employment, education and opportunity. EMCCA’s April 2026 investment paper already identifies Trent Arc mass-transit connections, including potential light-rail extensions, within the region’s development pipeline and records substantial funding remaining for later transformational investment. This would enable Derby’s future mass-transit needs to be considered fairly across modes, building on planned bus improvements while also examining whether VLR could add capacity and support wider regeneration outcomes.1 2 East Midlands
