UKTram plan to deliver even greater value for members in 2026 whilst supporting the continued growth, performance and impact of light rail across the UK and Ireland.
The collaborative approach seen in 2025 will be strengthened further over the next 12 months with Functional Groups and Working Groups continuing to play a central role to support operators. Meanwhile, Best Practice Days will contribute to UKTram’s activities, providing space for open shared learning and peer support.
A key priority will be to enhance how members access knowledge, resources and insight with a new Members Hub in early 2026. This will bring together the Request for Information (RFI) library, dedicated members’ news, resources and guidance in one space, creating a platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
James Hammett, Managing Director of UKTram, said: “The strength of UKTram lies in its members. The levels of engagement we’ve seen over the past year show just how valuable collaboration and shared learning are to the sector. In 2026, our focus is on building even stronger connections and providing more practical support.”
UKTram will also be continuing to work closely with partners including the LRSSB, government bodies, academic institutions and international peers, ensuring members remain well supported as the sector responds to evolving expectations around safety, sustainability, skills and system performance.
