Climate solution means only trains on railway tracks - not roads, not "bus on rails" trams, not buildings, not cycle-walkways!

Now, it will be, at best a TRAIN-TRAM-CYCLE/WALKWAY-TRAIN mainline railway.  A world first absurdity!

My stance is one of minimising expense/costs to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to use transport money to make use of existing railway lines for passenger and freight trains to cut congestion/pollution and GHGs.  TfWM/WMCA needs to concentrate on getting bus/train as least as good as the average on the mainland.

But VLR is obviously suitable for the 1.2 Kms Stourbridge Shuttle line (ultra light rail or ULR).  But for roads just stick to buses directly on roads without any kind of railway track.
