	Railway Technology - Tyne & Wear Metro Rapid Transit System - United Kingdom
		Regeneration of areas alongside the Metro system was boosted in 2002 by the new 18.5km Sunderland extension, of which 14km is on existing heavy rail line between Pelaw and Sunderland and 4.5km – south of Sunderland to South Hylton – on a disused railway alignment.
		In the early 1970s, poor public transport was pinpointed as a serious brake on the area's economic development and although a heavy rail system radiated from Newcastle city centre to many outlying areas, it was not suitable for modern demands.
		Metro operator Nexus is now developing a £500m spending plan for the next ten years, which will controversially involve private finance because the UK government does not have the resources as has been the case until now.

	Metro Cammell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Metropolitan Cammell Carriage and Wagon (MCCW) was a Birmingham, England based manufacturer of railway carriages and wagons, based in the suburb of Washwood Heath.
		It was formed in 1929 after Vickers Ltd and Cammell Laird and Co merged their railway-building interests (which included the Midland Railway Carriage and Wagon Company).
		In 1932, the business was combined with Weymann Motor Bodies and Metro Cammell Weymann was formed.

	Ahoy - Mac's Web Log-"Cammell Laird: Shipbuilders to the World" at Birkenhead, England by Alex Naughton- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Cammell Laird was started in 1824 by a William Laird, a Scottish entrepreneur, who like many of his fellow Scots moved to the River Mersey to seek his fortune.
		Cammell Laird also completed three aircraft carriers, two fleet carriers both named HMS Ark Royal in 1939 and 1950, and the smaller HMS Venerable of 1943 which was sold to the Dutch navy.
		This Cammell Laird site is one of these key strategic assets and must be safeguarded and protected from development that could jeopardise the use of this important facility and its No 5 drydock in the future.

	Cammell Laird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cammell Laird, one of the most famous names in British shipbuilding during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, came about following the merger of Laird, Son and Co. of Birkenhead and Johnson Cammell and Co. of Sheffield at the turn of the twentieth century.
		Johnson Cammell and Co. was founded by Charles Cammell and Henry and Thomas Johnson.
		The Cammell Laird brand continues to survive today through the Royal Dockyard facility in Gibraltar, which was acquired through a management buy-out in 2001.

	Tyne & Wear Transport Group
		It must be remembered that ‘light rail’ vehicles had never been constructed in the UK before, unless you count the small scale London Underground rolling stock, which Metro-Cammell was noted for.
		The vehicles were based on standard European ‘Metro’ designs, notably the German Stadtbahnwagen B, however, the exterior appearance of the prototypes would be very similar to the mock-up produced in 1973.
		Once the contract had been placed, Metro-Cammell sub-contracted the electrical equipment to GEC Traction Ltd., with the bogies and articulation contract going to the German Duwag company, recognised specialists in this field.

	Newcastle Tyne & Wear Metro
		The Metro was opened in stages between 1980 and 1984 and provided Tyne and Wear with its very own metro system.
		Services dwindled until in the 1970's, the first stage of the Metro was built under the then new shopping complex in Gateshead Interchange which is being completely rebuilt.
		Electrification by way of 1500v DC overhead equipment was chosen and rolling stock purchased from Metro Cammell (now Alstom).

	Metro Scania (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Four Metro Scania were bought for the super bus service in Stevenage in 1972 and designated MS.
		Since the prototype was an MCW demonstrator (made in Birmingham) it would have carried a 'local' registration number, hence the Warwickshire index.
		MCW stands for Metro Cammell Weymann, and this was an amalgam of two company's, Weymann and Metro-Cammell which had previously been Cammell-Laird just to complicate matters!

	UrbanRail.Net > Asia > HONG KONG Mass Transit Railway
		Dating back to the 1960s, the British HK government saw the need for an urban mass transit railway system to cope with the transporation needs of what is one of the most densly populated cities in the world.
		Close to reaching a deal that would grant a Japanese Conglomeration rights to build and operate the HK metro system, the Japanese Conglomeration withdrew from the project in mid-70s in light of the oil crisis.
		It was proposed by the HK government in 2006 to merge the KCRC and the MTRC to form one integrated metro company.

	^^^^ monotonik :: mono ^^^^
		The EP leads off with "Bacurex", a tour de force of understated, melodically dense electronics in the tradition of the best B12 or Black Dog releases.
		And "Metro Cammell", the second track, stuns further, with percussion looping down like shooting stars and melodies soaring up like rockets - and when the song breaks down and gets all ambientribal, the listener soars too.
		Monotonik is proud to have been associated, if only peripherally, with the rebirth of the early 90s 'Artificial Intelligence' vibe through labels like DeFocus and Neo-Ouija, and here's another prime example.

		Many were on the Metro Cammell or Craven units, and logs were marked accordingly.

	Welcome to MDS Book Sales
		Essentially, Vickers — a company that specialised in making things from steel — owned the Metropolitan Carriage, Wagon & Finance Company in Birmingham.
		It also had its own bus bodybuilding operation in Kent, but closed it in 1929 when the onset of the Great Depression prompted it to form a joint venture with Cammell Laird that became Metro-Cammell.
		As he explains, the Metro-Cammell Weymann joint venture was born of necessity.
