Dear Anthea McIntyre, Rupert Lowe, Andrew England Kerr, Martin Daubney, Ellie Chowns, Phil Bennion and Neena Gill CBE,
Since the 1990s, when I was told by Roy Burgess of the existence of the half used, half empty, principal mainline railway through the historic capital of the Black Country, every political party has never wanted our own railway line finished with TRAINS!
In fact, since the 1980s, your party has always wanted Metro trams on the 6.7 Kms out of the unused 56 Kms to make it impossible for the commuter, regional and intercity TRAINS to return on the full 120 Kms between Worcester, the Black Country and Derby.
HERE, BELOW IS THE ABSURDITY YOU STILL ALL SUPPORT! Is this the most challenging and slowest train journey in the world?
Going by train, from Worcester to Derby, on one, EXISTING, mainline railway, the politicians and transport experts want:
Change at Stourbridge Jct for the Very Light Rail Stourbridge Shuttle to Brierley Hill (one option).
Change at Brierley Hill for Light Rail Metro tram to Wednesbury.
Change at Wednesbury for the bus to Walsall. Eventually, a tram, a train or a tram train may be available.
Change at Walsall to hire a bike for the current cycle-walkway being extended, by volunteers, to Lichfield City Railway station.
Change at Lichfield for the train. Passenger trains are forbidden, so you have to go SE, the wrong direction, to Tamworth!
Change at Tamworth to go in the right direction, NW to Burton on Trent and Derby.
END OF JOURNEY with six changes when none is needed with my plan!

This is so typical of backward, behind the times, we are the greatest, Great Brexit Britain.
