Twitter to Rob Mayor, Andy Street in 140!

We need to change our behaviours to fit with the Brexit/Covid/Climate/Ecological crises. Tread more lightly on the planet. I'm reducing my hypocrisy quotient by cutting car mileage, cycling more, getting over 70 mpg from my diesel car by considerate driving when I do drive. COPY!

Rob, Please quiz VIPs over the planned 6 changes on the 120 Kms half-finished principal, mainline railway "of national strategic significance" (Network Rail, DfT). And, when "passive provision" is supposed to allow commuter/regional/freight trains to return, later in the century.

You have the tools, Andy but you are misusing them to destroy instead of restoring the UK's last mothballed railway "of national strategic significance". Your govt has £500 m 'Restoring Your Railway' fund for UK studies. But you have not included the Black Country Railway. WHY?

What if I told you that we have a railway "of national strategic significance" alongside or near to the bumper to bumper M5/M6 and it was not open to passengers? Tim Weller Independent candidate for W Mids Mayor 2020

How does destroying, by breaking up Brum's Western bypass Mainline Railway via Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall help road and railway congestion in Birmingham?
