Dear Adrian, Laura, Andy and Helen who are responsible for not just good governance but the very best governance you can all manage.
You replied with the barest and the most minimum information that has been out in the public domain for many years, anyway. I learnt nothing new! What were my other requests that were perfectly reasonable for me to ask? It is vital to allow members of the public to work with you to avoid the decades of blunders in destroying perfectly good urban railway lines and stations for trading estates, offices, homes, factories, roads and trams.
When you reply to a question, could you please include the email that I have written, with your 'answer/information'?
You wrote, "We are exploring options for further new stations, including in the north Wolverhampton area." One station you have most bizarrely called Tettenhall station, a long way from the railway line! Tettenhall station is now a cafe on the way below standard, the Black Country Cycle-Walk Mudway. The Mudway is the UK's most important but wasted, unfit for use over too much of its length, 22 Kms urban-rural-urban cycle-walkway. Did you not know that and that it is a disgrace? It is made up of two old railway lines - seven that can no longer be used for commuter, regional and intercity trains - and in Dudley borough alone!
Did you mean Pendeford or Palmers Cross or Oxley station for the name of yet another new station that will take many years to build? Do you accept that not one station has been opened since 1998?
"Passenger services were restored to the line and most of the stations reopened between 1989 and 1998, as part of a joint initiative between the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive (WMPTE) and Staffordshire County Council." Wikipedia
You have all been preoccupied, indeed obsessed with tram development on the remains of the railway network you have not yet destroyed. Truly absurd! In the process, worsening the climate emergency to the detriment of all of us. University station should have had a much lower priority when it does not serve a single home or business. Why was University station given such a very high priority for funding? Why so large? Why is it still not open?
Best wishes for much higher standards of work in future years. Please correct me where I am wrong.
