A student has shared their vision for how Liverpool’s tram and metro network could look if it was on a par with some of Europe’s major cities.
Todd Lithgow, 22, soon to be graduating with a planning degree from the University of Liverpool, has produced the map after looking at data detailing the metro and tram networks in France’s main cities. Applying the data to Liverpool, he claims the city would have around 50km of both metro and tramways. if our network was to match the French ones.
The calculation is based on taking the average metro and tram infrastructure per capita of the top 10 French cities and then displaying this in the context of Liverpool’s population. The map shows three tram networks running across Liverpool and also over to Wirral, with a number of metro train lines running towards the east of the city.
