TUC webinar on 11 Feb 2021

Should the TUC be at all concerned?  When West Midlands Metro tram extensions mean:-

  • at ten times the construction cost/Km of rebuilding a railway line in Scotland in 2015;
  • convert 6.7 Kms of a half unused but ready built 120 Kms Black Country mainline railway into a tramway;
  • convert eleven direct bus routes through the Birmingham Five Ways underpass and Broad Street into a tramway that mean all round the Wrekin diversion for bus passengers;
  • that then make for a slower, longer and worse public transport service for the eleven bus routes from west Brum, Dudley borough, and Sandwell;
should the TUC be at all concerned?    Tim Weller
