Our goal is public transport that delivers zero CO2 emissions, zero toxic pollution and A-class energy efficiency. That's the idea behind Lightweight Community Transport Ltd. We offer services to communities that are seeking to promote and develop ultra light rail - that is, light rail with the simplest, most lightweight technology.
Our services
Our first objective is to provide affordable leasing of lightweight rolling stock, ready for use on any line.
Demonstrations - short term trial services need to be especially low in cost, and can start at as little as £2000.
Full service - once the concept is proven, new vehicles built for the specific application can be provided. A single railcar, for just 30 passengers, could cost just £3800 a month; or two railcars each carrying 120 people on a busier route would be £18,000 a month.
But that isn't the only thing community rail operations require.
Business planning and startup finance - we will provide short term risk lending to help develop the organisation and business plan for a new service. This could include recruiting and training staff, branding and publicity.
Depot and maintenance facilities - in many cases, a suitable depot and secure stage facility will not exist. We will provide lease finance for a depot of your specification.
In some cases, we may even act as operator ourselves to get a project off the ground.
