 | A Peace Gaza Oct 2025 | 2025 2025 The Gaza Tram of Peace is a solar-powered, hydrogen-enabled Very Light Rail (VLR) system proposed to support Gaza’s post-conflict recovery. Based on the TIG/MRC3, robust Tatra double-bogie car, it combines heritage design with modern resilience and efficiency. • The tram will transport rubble trailers, construction materials, and the workforce, reconnecting homes, clinics, schools, and markets, while serving as a visible symbol of civic dignity and peace. Inspired by many post-war cities and towns, such as Hiroshima’s and other post-war tram restorations, • Tram systems were low-cost, high-impact, enabling mobility, employment, and civic pride during reconstruction. • After WW2, Germany, after the reconstruction of their significantly war-damaged local tramways, then used them to rebuild their cities and economy. Inspired by West Germany, cities like Dresden and Frankfurt used tramway restoration as a backbone for urban renewal, reconnecting housing, jobs, and services. • Post-WWII German The model proved scalable, resilient, and symbolic of democratic recovery | GAZA Palestine |

 | IOM Consequeses of doing NOTHING | This report examines the consequences of maintaining the status quo and not pursuing hydrogen-powered Very Light Rail (VLR)
integration on the Isle of Man’s rail network.
It highlights ongoing operational, environmental, economic, and strategic challenges that will persist or worsen without the proposed project. | IOM |

 | ramsey reversing and Airport Loop Sept 2025 | A reversing spur allows single-ended VLR vehicles to change direction without needing a full turning loop.
This is particularly valuable in constrained urban environments like Ramsey.VLR Trams operate clockwise and anti-clockwise, partially running on street infrastructure near the airport.
• VLR loop offers direct, zero-emission access to terminal
• Reduces taxi/car dependency, especially for short-haul and commuter traffic
• Estimated uplift: £3M–£6M in transport efficiency and reduced congestion

 | Isle of Man H VLR F- Study Upgrade Sept 2025 | This study explores the potential for integrating hydrogen-powered Very Light Rail (VLR) technology into the Isle of Man’s existing rail ecosystem. The aim is to enhance connectivity, reduce emissions, and preserve heritage operations. The concept retains the Ramsey–Douglas line, Douglas horse tramway, and Douglas–Port Erin steam railway, while introducing hydrogen VLR vehicles for supplementary services, greater connectivity, through running and future-proofing. | IOM |

 | York City Updated Aug 2025 | *This starter line will pass through key stops like York Rail Station, Stonebow, and Woodthorpe, York Racecourse and out to a P+R on the South Western Ring Road
It will operate throughout the day at a proposed 6-minute peak headway, serving a mix of commuters, shoppers, and local residents
High frequency: every 6 minutes during peak times
Trams address the “Pollution Air Quality Task Group report
A non-polluting distributor, steel-on-steel is clearly needed!
Globally, PM pollution is linked to 9 million premature deaths annually. For example, in 2019, nearly 70% of the 4.2 million deaths attributed to ambient air pollution PM10s & PM2.5 were due to cardiovascular conditions.
A major contributor to Alzheimer's, Dementia and other issues
A Clean and Green Recycled transport gateway in the centre of York
No Road/Tyre/Brake Particulates (NEE)
(Trams are genuine zero-emission vehicles at the point of use!).
A 2nd-generation working Tourist tram museum line a possibility ?.
Tourist and City tramcars for all weathers
Addresses Transport Poverty and Social Exclusion by being disabled friendly and level boarding as standard
A Clean and Green Recycled transit system in the centre of York with
No Road/Tyre/Brake Particulates (NEE)
(Trams are genuine zero-emission vehicles at the point of use!).
Reduces the country to city centre buses, which then can offer a more frequent local feeder service in the outskirts of York to the tram
Single ticket operation is possible.
