Is Railfuture called Tramfuture?

Thanks Donald for replying with your thoughts.  You are one of the few who get stars awarded in gratitude for engaging.

All of this might also be news to the Director General of the Rail Freight Group, Maggie Simpson who also objects (by actions not words it seems), to freight lines being used, let alone sharing with passenger trains.  Please clarify, Maggie.

I was told last autumn by Peter Sargant, copied in for correction or confirmation, Peter, that the 120 Kms Black Country Railway, even though it only has to be finished and, then be the world's first train-tram-train mainline railway between London and Edinburgh, is at the absolute "bottom of the priority list"!!  And Peter should know.

• Has Railfuture ever thought differently and actually said so or written?
• Or, have you always rubber-stamped all the eccentric, the most weird and wonderful decisions emanating from TRAM HQ (16 Summer Lane)?
• As a group, have you always and forever agreed with the authorities?
• Did Midlands Rail-NO-future always agree with Metro One going between the two mainline stations (apart from 2 Kms at the Wolves end) and even agreed with it falling short of both the bus station and the surviving mainline station in Wolverhampton in the 1990s?  Last year, after 7 years of building a miserly 700 metres it finally opened.
• Did Rail-NO-future ever object to one out of four of Snow Hill station platforms being turned into a tram stop when Snow Hill was previously a mainline station, with Low Level?
• Platform 4 will still be out of use for years to come and Low Level, once a mainline station for 100 years, is now a conference and events centre!!  What a waste of good railway infrastructure with the complete support of Rail-NO-future!
• Did all you train lovers and railway experts believe that "In those days (1960s) the railways were not seen as the future of transport"?
• Is the Railfuture policy to see trams and High Scam 2 as the future of transport?
• 20 years after the 1950s destruction of the tram network, trams were seen, so soon, as the future of transport and, on train lines, too!  And trams have had top priority ever since - thus Peter's bottom-of-the-list railway stuck in the sidings and converted to a nibble sized, 6.7 Kms tramway out of the unused 56 Kms!  Later, to be a freight line in the 2040s, "at the earliest" (Laura Shoaf quoting from Network Rail and, David Golding, last decade)
• Is this, "the railways were not seen as the future of transport", why you all so happily oversaw the destruction of Beeching's very properly closed, badly loss-making, railway lines?
• Did anyone at Rail-NO-future ever ask for them to be mothballed instead of getting the obliteration treatment (like Gaza, to be topical), Donald?
• Could you please explain to this layman how on earth the tramway can ever be converted back into a freight railway once the public has got used to it as a tramway.  There would be eruptions with trams being taken away and replaced with goods trains.
• Or, will the goods trains run at night?  Is that the idea?  Actually, one of my ideas I've been promoting for years, even with Port Talbot steelworks closing for conversion to electricity!
