Dear Midlands Connect Team
Thanks so much for this clarification. However, I am still befuddled!
Why, after 25 years of rising passenger numbers on our railways, is there still no consideration being given to 'RAILS TO RECOVERY: UPGRADING OF THE DERBY - DUDLEY - DEVON RAILWAY'? In particular, the wasted section of 56 Kms, still available, ready built but, unused between Burton on Trent and Stourbridge Junction?
Why is the railway industry, with the full support of the unions, Midlands Connect and DfT/HMG, turning our railways into tram lines in yet more of the Black Country?
We could have had a much-improved service, years ago, between Shrewsbury, Brum and London if you had all chosen TRAINS instead of trams for the Snow Hill Sta to Wolverhampton railway line. Platform 4 has been unused since 2016 when the tram extension connected Grand Central and bypassed Snow Hill Sta. As you must know, there is a tunnel connecting Snow Hill and Moor Street on the London line!
It is all very perplexing for my small brain - actually, nonsensical!
Thanks so much for writing. Please write again and attempt to explain what does seem completely indefensible, illogical and a very serious oversight for 25 years.
Best wishes
