Coventry City Council awarded a contract to Galliford Try Infrastructure for the construction of a test track site for the Coventry Very Light Rail (CVLR) system.

The test site will measure and analyse vibration impacts and track performance under CVLR vehicle loading.

The CVLR system is designed to provide the backbone of an integrated public transport network, linking heavy rail with electric bus services and last-mile options to encourage modal shift from cars, improve air quality, reduce congestion, attract investment, and enhance connectivity.
