A  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, BJ Pridmore  prophetically proposed a Light Rail solution to anticipated traffic issues on the transport corridor centered on the Bristol Road.

Would cities in the UK which already had some reserved tram tracks have benefited 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?
