Taunton Metro Rail (TMR) was a light rail network proposed in 2009 to use a combination of existing rail infrastructure and the construction of new infrastructure in and around Taunton, Somerset. == Proposal == Project Taunton, the authority responsible for Taunton's major regeneration project, revealed plans for TMR in 2009 as part of their transport sustainability plan. A feasibility proposal was to be drawn for Somerset County Council. It was anticipated that TMR will be modelled against driverless systems such as London's Docklands Light Railway, providing an anticipated peak frequency of five trains per hour and an off-peak frequency of three trains per hour. If implemented, the avoiding line in Taunton's Station Road would be used as a calling point, rather than integrating it to Taunton's National Rail station. Also, this will mean that Wellington's rail station would be reopened, which had been already proposed by the Conservative Party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/8454052.stm )〕 The move to re-open Wellington's former rail station gained widespread support from local businesses and residents. The proposal was due to be submitted in Autumn 2009, however due to the economic climate and a lack of funding, this has been delayed until further notice. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taunton metro rail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
