Notes:
There may be some double counting in total costs in that
rolling stock costs may be part of capital and operating costs
include interest paid (to be distinguished from interest owed).
Data sources for the table are: Transport Statistics Great
Britain, the DfT publication Focus on Public Transport and the
DfT leaflet with the title Light Rail Facts and, for operating
costs, the 2003 edition of the TAS Light Rail Monitor.
The annual track costs are based on repayment of capital
over 30 years at the Treasury discount rate of 3.5% (providing
a multiplier of 0.054 on capital) plus maintenance of 5% of capital,
yielding a combined multiplier of 0.104.
The annual cost of rolling stock is set to the cost of capital,
(again) repaid at 3.5% over 30 years, plus the cost of maintenance
set at 7.5% of capital providing a combined multiplier of 0.129.
Outturn prices have been converted to the 2003 base using
the Retail Prices Index.
Docklands: Capital costs: £77 million in 1987, £294
million in 1991, £280 million in 1994, £250 million
in 1999, a total of £901 million at outrun prices or £1,162
at 2003 prices.
Croydon Tram link: Opened May 2000 at a construction cost
of £200 million, providing £212 million at 2003 prices
Midland Metro: Opened 1999 at a construction cost of £145
million providing £159 million at 2001 prices.
Manchester Metrolink: Opened 1992 at a construction cost
of £140 million, Extended in 2000 at a cost of £160
million, providing a total of £359 million at 2003 prices.
Tyne and Wear: Opened 1980-84 at a construction cost of £284
million (mostly new track with some use of former rail alignments),
extended to Airport in 1991, Sunderland extension in 2002 (sharing
14 km of exiting national rail track), £105 million at 2001
prices providing £739 million at 2003 prices.
Sheffield Supertram: Opened 1994-05 at a construction cost
of £240 million, providing £302 million at 2003 prices.
The trams cost 1.6 million each; higher than allowed for in the
tabulation above.
