FoI request re Merry Hill Shopping Centre

1. Could you please send me all reports and minutes of meetings, going back to the 1980s, that concern all discussions over the Richardsons' monorail, the Metro tram and the nearby, Brierley Hill, 120 Kms intercity Worcester, Black Country, Derby railway.
2. Did PTA/Centro ever suggest or discuss the monorail being extended to the intercity railway to await its reopening asap?
3. On what date did it take its first fare-paying passenger?
4. On what date the monorail close?
5. Why was the monorail closed in the 1990s?
6. What was the date of its last fare-paying passengers?
7. Did PTA/Centro ever discuss the possibility of reinstating the passenger railway at the Waterfront/Round Oak?
8. What were the reasons for always rejecting the railway being completed and new stations built?
9. Since the formation of MMA/TfWM/WMCA has there been any review or discussion to finish the double-track Worcester to Derby railway to serve Merry Hill, Brierley Hill and the rest of the Black Country?
10. Can I please have sight of those discussions and minutes?
11. Why, in nearly forty years, has Metro trams always been the chosen option for the UK's last, virtually ready built, fully available but the forgot the trains and some stations, principal mainline 120 Kms railway?
12. Unlike other councils in the UK, eg Edinburgh in 2019, why has there never been a debate and vote in a single West Midlands council chamber over the wisdom of proceeding with a rebuilt tram network on the railway network instead of using railway trains?
13. Is this oversight a matter of failing to follow correct procedures?
14. Please comment and rebut my own comments above each of the three photos, below.

MY PHOTOS: what you see described by one person as 'bizarre'; another called it 'bonkers':

Wasted 56 Kms from Stourbridge Jct to Burton on Trent on the ready built, but only half used, 120 Kms Worcester to Derby principal mainline railway.

Since the 1980s, the intention remains to fell these trees for an embankment/viaduct for the Metro tram when, 600m away, is the half-finished, half-used principal mainline railway that needs finishing and not wasted, unused and even destroyed in places:

When the 6 lane motorway opened in Dec 2003 with private money, it was half the estimated price per Km of the WBHE (Dudley) tram construction

16 years have passed for metal thieves to pinch the up line.  It is taking an eternity and more to get the trains back because of Metro.
