Network Rail has questions to answer

  1. Do you agree over the 45 miles for 50 years of no passenger trains and stations in Birmingham and the Black Country?
  2. How many Rail Utilisation Studies has Network Rail written over these 50 years?
  3. How many miles of new rail lines have you and your predecessors actually utilised?
  4. Why has £750m just been spent on "reducing passenger congestion" at New Street Station (David Golding in phone conversation with me last month) but nothing to reduce rail congestion?
  5. Why are the approach roads to New Street so congested that it takes half an hour from the far side of Holloway Circus to get into the 'Stop and Crawl' tunnel?
  6. Why is that tunnel perfumed with a cocktail of poisonous gases to harm the health of all of us?
  7. When is NR going to start agitating for new rail tunnels on both approaches for trains to get more easily into the platforms to reduce the glorious new "passenger experience" as we wait, up above in the shopping malls spending more money, for our delayed or never to appear train?
