Thanks for what you have written. Very good, too. But can you send me the link, please? But I must try and get it for myself from the WMCA website. My comment:
How absurd but so accurate: "Commuters could be asked to walk, cycle or bus the last leg of the Wednesbury-Brierley Hill Metro line after bosses admitted they don't have the cash to finish it."
The public open space may still destroyed by a massive earth embankment or concrete and steel viaduct for the section into Merry Hill, plus many trees and shrubs and the rest of Nature needed to slow climate ecocide from all our burning up of finite fossil fuels for unnecessary projects like this.
All they need to do is to keep the trams on the former, principal mainline railway so they connect with the national railway network at Stourbridge Jct. The freight trains will have to run at night.
I still maintain that the Star should be running a major campaign to keep the trams on the railway to Jct station. In the 1990/00s the Brum Post led the campaign for the £750m Grand Central Station. What about your editor doing similar? Please ask him/her. I have been a successful failure over Metro misery since I started writing about it in the 1990s!!
Not just a solution looking for a problem but a solution that worsens all our problems, particularly climate and resource depletion. The Metro tram project money and all the staff must be diverted to mitigate and adapt to a worsening climate horror, by insulating and solar powering every building.
