Author Information

Lewis Lesley is an acknowledged expert in urban public transport, with over 200 refereed publications. His career has seen him transition from academic (Liverpool John Moores University, 1975-2003) to practitioner and, finally, consultancy. He also organized the first ""Electrifying Urban Public Transport"" conference and exhibition in Blackpool in 1983. Thirty years of experience within the academic realm of transport have allowed Dr. Lesley to develop a vast portfolio of research and collaborations with some of the most eminent engineers in transport, traffic, and vehicle design. As the Technical Director of Tram Power Ltd., Dr. Lesley prepared plans for a commercial tramway in Preston (UK), which has gained planning permission. Currently, his focus is directed toward the Southwark Supertram Project, a design which entails the development of a 5.3km street running tram scheme to improve both connectivity and costs.
