So yes, there is on going investment in heavy rail in the West Midlands, however in the Black Country things are different as we know.
In general it’s fair to say there is no infrastructure investment other than maintaining the present day routes, no scheme for a park and ride service at Brierley Hill for heavy rail as this is up for grabs by another parry people mover scheme.
When are we ever going to learn that when we are gifted with a part used rail route like the Dudley line, we should put trains on it and reinstate the line as it was before it was mothballed by Railtrack.
It would be a through route with no changing trains other than at Walsall maybe, far better than what’s proposed, which would take discerning travellers far longer in this day and age, hardly anyone will use it, opting to go by bus as it is direct, cheaper & will probably be quicker.
It will become a costly white elephant,and I hope that the people who have approved and endorsed this scheme of image pay dearly for it.
