Stratford upon Avon

The first urban application for Minitram is expected to be in Stratford upon Avon where the system will help to relieve traffic congestion and provide a fully integrated transport solution. A three month trial (funded by Warwickshire County Council, Stratford on Avon District Council, the West Midlands Regional Assembly and the Royal Shakespeare Company) conducted around Stratford town centre in 2003 was a huge success.

During the trial 1400 people used the Minitram with a 98% positive response rate. In conclusion, both the District and County Councillors supported the view that the Minitram as a new form of public transport would have a future in Stratford. The project now forms part of the "World Class Stratford" initiative.
