MULTI-MODAL MIX UP with Metro and Sprint to the detriment of trains and buses

Trams make public transport worse eg. 11 different bus routes no longer using Five Ways underpass; WBHE destroying 6.7 Kms of the Derby to Devon via Dudley railway line; taken out of use one mainline railway and station at Wolverhampton, with 4 or 5 Kms of railway line and, platform 4 at Snow Hill. What a catalogue of errors! LR and VLR has taken over one of only two north-south principal, mainline railway lines between the centre of Brum and the Welsh coast. WHOOPS!

Sprint is duplicating existing bus services when every bus must be electric, have bus priority traffic lights and on bus lanes on nearside lanes to allow cars only in the overtaking lane. And free for the young, too.

Already well to do with everything already Solihull gets HS2, Metro, Sprint plus the regular bus and railway services!

Commonwealth Games, HS2, Metro and Sprint all add to expenditure, economic growth, the exhaustion of resources and accelerate the runaway greenhouse effect. Nearly 50 C in parts of Canada and the USA this week.

THESE WARNINGS CAN HARDLY BE CLEARER OR MORE URGENT
