My idea is what they've creeping towards, millimetre at a time, for 40 years!

Thinking that only Metro trams can get commuter and passenger/freight trains back on the London to Edinburgh Mainline railway, viz:

"Light rail investment provides the basis for restoring heavy rail services at the appropriate time" (letter from Centro in September 2000 about WBHE and Camp Hill line must have trams first)!!

I've been reading the WBHE report for Friday morning 19 July. Agenda item 8, p 37. It is not good enough that there is no business case for KEEPING the tram on the railway, with electric bus from Blue Brick pub tram stop to Waterfront at Level St, then onto Merry Hill and its bus station.

Please insist on a comparison business case for using the railway to Stourbridge Jct,  bypassing Merry Hill. It would still go through Brierley Hill and attract more passengers between Wednesbury,  Dudley and Stourbridge. Tim
