A new report has revealed that the Light Rail Safety and Standards Board (LRSSB) has delivered an estimated £33 million in added value to the light rail sector.
The LRSSB’s annual report is the first released since the launch of their three-year strategy in 2025 and also shows the LRSSB continued to grow and evolve in line with the needs of its stakeholders, including moving toward greater independence.
The organisation responsible for tramway safety have also been involved in a number of initiatives including a national pedestrian campaign, further enhancements to the LRSSB’s Tramway Accident and Incident Reporting (TAIR) system, and the launch of a new online Skills Hub to help standardise training across the sector.
Carl Williams, LRSSB Chief Executive, said: “I would like to thank all our partners for their efforts over the past few years as we could not deliver such impressive results alone. Such progress in a relatively short space of time takes everyone invested in the sector to be fully behind our mission to prevent incidents and reduce harm.”
