RailAdventure UK has been announced as the operator of the Coventry Very Light Rail tests in May and June.

The vehicle has an innovative system that is using advanced technology that aims to provide an hop-on, hop-off service for residents.

The unit will operate on a 220-metre demonstration line in Coventry city centre with passengers being able to take a ride onboard.

“This project is a perfect fit for RailAdventure – it’s local, innovative, and uses our operational expertise and passion for bringing new ideas to life! Our local teams will be working on this test.

“With our experience as a rail operator, including battery-powered traction, we are excited to showcase why we believe there is a strong future for this type of operation. We look forward to playing a role in shaping it.”
