All Around the Wrekin!

Commuter trains from Snow Hill could reverse out of Stourbridge Jct up to Round Oak; then change onto the tram to Wednesbury; get the bus to Walsall railway station.  From there, cycle hire on the cycle-walkway on the railway built for intercity trains to Lichfield!  Change for trains to Derby and all points north via Nuneaton would you believe.  What a long winded, wasteful way to do it when, for 100 years that journey was done by regional/national TRAINS - the whole way from London!!

200 years ago we were turning tramways into railways.

Now, it's forward to the past - railways turned into tramways.

What colossal - not idiocy - PROGRESS, ever onwards and upwards!
