Dear Nigel
In your comment, you wonderfully listed a number of places that could and should have improved transport but meant nothing to me. I would love to have more details, please and I'll look them up on the OS maps.
What, exactly, are you campaigning for? Would you like me to write to someone in support?
I would love to have your honest, frank thoughts on that pink sheet I gave you - please!
What do you think of my conviction that your public transport provision is threadbare compared to ours in the W Midlands. We have four rail modes:
High Speed - tens of billions in price and weight of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Heavy Rail - although about 100 Kms of railway lines in the heart of motorway-congested Midlands have been destroyed for roads, building and for:
Light Rail; and,
Very Light Rail in Coventry and the VLR test track at the former Dudley Castle Hill mainline railway station.
And three bus modes - the Sprint bus that thinks it's a tram;
guided busway and,
Regular buses
Do you think that this is OTT as regards railway provision, when the national debt is rising with increased interest payments on them and, rising temperature from rising GHG emissions?
Was it you who told me that you would have cycled to today's transport meeting but you thought a suit was essential? I always cycle to my local meetings in Brum from Halesowen, a distance of nine miles on over six miles of traffic-free routes - and I'm over 77!
