Just a handful of free tickets remain for one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the light rail calendar.

Attracting senior figures from across the sector, the UKTram Light Rail Summit on September 21 in Birmingham offers a day of topical debate on a wide range of issues. A full agenda is available to download here, and anyone wanting to take part should email lorraineGeorge@uktram.co.uk or risk missing out.

Places are strictly limited for the event at the Institute of Engineering and Technology’s impressive conference facilities in central Birmingham, IET: Austin Court, where members of the Department for Transport’s employment skills taskforce will be among the keynote speakers.

They will be joined on the day by representatives from West Midlands Metro, West Midlands Combined Authority, the Light Rail Safety and Standards Board, and the UKTram Centre of Excellence for a summit that also offers excellent networking opportunities.
