"The BBC (Martin Bashir) used deception to get their (his) 1995 scoop." 'Today' on 22 May 2021

Birmingham's Transport HQ used deception to get their Metro trams on the UK's last, principal, mothballed, mainline railway from Derby to Devon via Dudley.

1. Deception in insisting, for over 20 years, that "Light rail investment (trams) provides the basis for restoring heavy rail services (trains) at the appropriate time."  Tom Magrath, Passenger Services Director, Centro, 18 September 2000.
2. Deception in 'Midlands Today' interview that "passive provision" would be built in to the tram works on the mainline railway.  Only some bridges are being strengthened for track sharing or double running.
3. Improper influence with the national tram promotion group, UK Tram Ltd, sharing the same building as Transport for W Midlands and the Combined Authority - 16 Summer Lane.
4. Most misleading to suggest that trams will become tram trains that will make them suitable for the run from Derby to Devon via Dudley.
