Britain's first modern light rail system will soon commence operations in the northern suburbs of Newcastle upon Tyne. LRT practice in Germany and Belgium was the starting point in minimising staff while keeping capital costs down. Although the 55 km network will be signalled throughout and stations will be monitored by CCTV from a central control room, routes will be set automatically through interlockings according to destination data derived from approach trains.
