The organisation representing light rail in the UK has been named a key supporter of a landmark transport event in Manchester next month.
Now in its third year, Interchange 25 is the only large-scale event of its kind in the UK
focussing on integrated transport infrastructure and brings together key figures from
public and private sector organisations to inspire new ideas, challenge norms, and
build valuable connections.
UKTram was recently named as an official supporter of the conference, and its
Managing Director, James Hammett, said he’s delighted to be involved in a high-
profile event that showcases the ability of intelligent transport system infrastructure
to benefit society, the economy, and the environment.
“Our participation highlights the vital role tramways and similar transit systems can
play in the development of successful integrated transport networks, and we’re
looking forward to this opportunity to learn from colleagues working on other
transport infrastructure projects,” he said.
“Although this is the first time we have taken part in the conference, we will be
looking to build on our presence at future Interchange events as we forge even
closer links with the wider transport industry.”
Taking place at Manchester Central on March 4 – 5, Interchange 2025 is free to
attend and also features Transforming Infrastructure Live, the ITS UK Annual
Conference, and the STB Conference.
Andrew Dowding, Managing Director of Interchange, added: “We are thrilled to have
UKTram as a supporter. It’s a really exciting time for light rail with significant projects
in the ground and more in the pipeline across the UK.
“The renewed focus on sustainable and integrated transport firmly positions light rail
as a catalyst for urban growth, and we look forward to working with UKTram and its
members to ensure the opportunities are writ large as part of the UK’s transport
future.”
