RAILWAYS TURNED INTO ROADS, HOUSING ESTATES AND TRAMLINES - over 100 Kms in the W Mids;
ROADS TURNED INTO RAILWAYS WITH TRAMS MUSCLING IN TO ADD TO THE CHAOS - Broad Street, Hagley Road and, no more Five Ways underpass, ever again for buses!
Lies and a little deception by a journalist to get a TV interview, only took 25 years to be uncovered.
After 60 or 70 years of losing transport infrastructure, turned into homes, roads, buildings of every description - and tramlines, no one lifts an eyebrow of surprise!
99% of people and every journalist are unmoved by the decades of not just closing railway lines but of failing to mothball them in case of future use. Hence their conversion to everything but the kitchen sink.
Very nearly everyone feels it is acceptable to destroy over 100 Kms of West Midlands railway lines.
But, is it acceptable for Transport for West Midlands to say that "light rail investment provides the basis for restoring heavy rail services at the appropriate time"?
Is it perfectly normal for top TfWM officers to put it about that the magic of "passive provision" will enable passenger, freight trains and stations to return to a mainline railway once "bus on rails" trams have taken it over?
