This video looks at the length of the trains possible on a light rail concept for Ryedale, North Yorkshire.
Pickering is probably the principal limitation - if light rail services were to reach the Ropery (most central area possible) the maximum length of trains would be 80 metres.
Go Ryedale is a site aiming to stimulate debate and action to reduce dependence on fossil fuels for transport.
