Railfuture is part of the problem

I think they take the line that ideally they would like trains on there, but not seen as a priority and also they would say that the reality is that the tram can't be stopped now.  But there is still nearly 50 Kms out of the wasted, unused 56 Kms of the 120 Kms that could have freight and passenger trains!  Why don't they join me in asking for this to be done?  It will then be a train-tram-train railway but, that is something!

I agree that somehow the spending on the tram has got all out of proportion to it's benefits, a review is needed of the cost/benefit of them. Likewise Sprint buses!  YES!  Why don't they object to trams when the trams have destroyed even mainline railways and stopped trains returning on the lines that have survived being converted into roads and everything bar the kitchen sink?  SEE THE EVIDENCE, here:

 Dear Tom Westley - Chair of Black Country LEP

There are so many things that they need to consider, this is low on the list. Throughout the existence of RDS, now Railfuture, the destruction of even urban railway lines has been very low on their list of priorities.  Hence, about 100 Kms of the W Mids railway lines have been destroyed.  And they blame it on Beeching, instead of on themselves.  That is true.  We spent a lot of time recently talking about the IRP/HS2 plans, also responding to questions about how we see GBR working properly. I could ask if I could sent you minutes of the meeting.  Yes, please.  What is IRP and GBR? 

There are all very very knowledgable people.  So knowledgeable and all-knowing that they don't need to bother to read my evidence of railway destruction to make way for highly expensive trams on mainline railways.  They know it all and will not hear my side of the case!  They are both deaf and blind to what has and still is going on.  Quite extraordinary!  They love highly extravagant, grossly expensive, over-indulgent trams more than trains.  Honest!

There is this discussion about whether freight trains could use the line at night?  What is their opinion on that, please?  Are they sure that passive provision is being made by the Midland Metro Alliance and TfWM?  Or is passive provision for even freight trains from the Camp Hill line, all lies as I fear?
