Hi Tim
I am just writing a piece about the Digbeth tram line - where costs have rocketed to £352m from £227m in just four years, and it still won't be open until 2026 at earliest (other than very short extension to Clayton Hotel next year). If anyone can provide a brief expert comment on this huge cost please let me know.
Separately, I have never been able to get hold of the feasibility study of the tram line to East Birmingham that was commissioned by Andy Street and has been revisited by Richard Parker. Can you point me in the right direction? I believe it concluded that the costs of a tram line would be excessive and complicated because of the route having to go across the ringway and then use narrow residential streets, at least for the section into and out of the new Blues stadium area.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
