View the Oddity of ...

... the planned tramline taking over the main line railway "of national strategic significance".

2 pm THIS SUNDAY!

My biking event highlighting the oddity of the planned tramline taking over the main line railway "of national strategic significance".

• celebrate a muddy towpath turned into a smooth, hard surface for a responsible shared cycle-walkway;
• view the Parkhead Viaduct on the forgotten, wasted, existing main line railway with no houses, offices or roads built on it - yet!  Only slow "bus on rails" trams planned on 6.7 Kms instead of commuter, regional and freight trains on 56 Kms to complete the full 120 Kms .
• see the huge grass embankment to be turned into a viaduct for "bus on rails" trams and,
• the beautiful grassy embankment spoilt by a double track tram line;
• give feedback on my guerilla gardening landscape enhancement scheme threatened by the £343 million tram scheme on the Black Country main line railway "of national strategic significance".

On Sunday 26 August, 2 pm (move off at 2.10)  Meet in Farthings Lane DY2 0XU on the southern side of Dudley Southern (not even a pavement, let alone a cycle-walkway) 

Bypass.  Motor or, better cycle there.  Plenty of parking if you bring the bike by car.  Or, meet on the planned, expanded canal embankment, on the towpath opposite Primark and M&S at Merry Hill, for 2.30 pm.
