Dear Neil - please forward this to your colleagues, as well. AND, PLEASE, LET'S HAVE A PROPER, PROFESSIONAL, DETAILED REBUTTAL to well and truly flatten this upstart of an old man that I am!
Thank you but, you are passing the buck, my friend to your colleagues in Transport/UK Tram Ltd/WMCA HQ, all at 16 Summer Lane. You, too Neil must also be seen as partly responsible for the scandal of destroying the UK's last, principal mainline railway between Derby, Dudley and Devon for LR, VLR and ULR in Dudley borough on a railway "of national strategic significance". What a disaster that is, even by the pathetic standards of the bleak, barren, backward Black Country!
What do you make of this letter, above Neil? Are they and I simply mistaken, perhaps?
It was you who said that you had all considered all the options and, something to the effect, that destroying yet another open space for concrete, brick and tarmac was the perfect, the very best, the ideal solution. The 1990 monorail never did destroy any open space but you, or your Dudley predecessors, never did ensure it was connected to the mainline Black Country Railway at Round Oak and ensuring that the trains and stations went back, then. How foolish was that? Complete idiocy that is now being seen, again in an even more spectacular fashion by utterly destroying a mainline railway needed for freight and to take the pressure off 'Grand Central Underground, Diesel Perfumed, Stuck in the Basement of the Closed John Lewis Store Station'. Perfectly rotten transport planning and delivery in intentionally destroying seven Dudley railway lines but, not quite the right kind of 'perfect'!
Best wishes for a smidgeon higher standard of transport thought and execution - from now on, please - and tell me where and how I am so very wrong.
Tim
