About this Event
Urban Transport Next 03: The Tyne and Wear Metro at 40
A lunchtime conversation on what’s next for Britain’s innovation railway, with:
Tobyn Hughes, Managing Director, Transport North East and Director General of Nexus
Huw Lewis, Customer Services Director, Nexus
Interviewer, Mike Parker, former Director General, Nexus
The Tyne and Wear Metro is arguably the UK’s boldest and most successful post-war urban rail development. It’s also the bone structure of the region’s economy, identity and daily life. In the third of UTG’s Urban Transport Next series of lunchtime conversations, our panel will discuss how the Metro came about in the first place. And what does the future hold for this unique and pioneering light rail system?
UTG is the UK’s network of city region transport authorities. Together, we work to ensure that transport plays its full part in making our city regions greener, fairer, happier, healthier and more prosperous places.
Date: Wednesday 24th February
Time: 1-2pm
