    Lickey Light Railway – Modern Tramway Vol. 13 No. 146

    The mention of ‘Lickey’ in the railway press usually conjures up thoughts of the Lickey Incline and the bankers needed to enable steam-powered trains to make the climb.

    In an article written in 1949 (Modern Tramway’s Prize Article of 1949) and published in February 1950, B.J. Pridmore prophetically proposed a Light Rail solution to anticipated traffic issues on the transport corridor centred on the Bristol Road.

    Would cities in the UK which already had some reserved tram tracks have benefitted from forward thinking that sustained the use of trams through the latter years of the 20th century on tracks and routes which would be suitable for the current wave of Light Rapid Transit/Modern Tramway provision?

    I think some cities might have given the idea some thought, but Birmingham, hence the Bristol Road reference, was far to pre-occupied with road transport at the time and was busy demolishing premises for road widening and slum clearance.
