Keep things simple and obvious; not complicated and difficult

When you have built a monorail which takes shoppers from the free car park at the Waterfront into the heart of the Merry Hill Shopping Centre, don't destroy it to build the mighty tramway which will deposit shoppers from the shops at Dudley onto the high canal embankment over 100 metres away from the main entrance!

When you have a principal mainline railway between London and Edinburgh through the 1 m population of the Black Country on the western side of the 1 m population of Birmingham, simply reinstate the monorail.  But this time, connect it to that same mainline railway "of national strategic significance" at the Waterfront free car park instead of turning it into:

part tramway

    part freight railway

        part Very Light Railway (VLR) test track

            part another VLR HQ and innovation centre

                part cycle-walkway;

and this, when you have already built all the tunnels, bridges and flyovers for the intercity and commuter trains to return!

YOU are destroying nature and open spaces at Merry Hill by your stunning stupidity in building and then selling the monorail to Australia!

YOU are also destroying nature, open spaces and gardens along Hagley Road by building the highly extravagant tramway.

This, to take funds away from extending regional Fare-Free Public Transport to ALL  age groups.

And YOU are complicating public transport journeys by adding more modes with Light Rail trams like Metro and, Very Light Rail trams as in Coventry.

YOU are obsessed with new transport modes like Sprint (the bus that thinks its a tram) instead of using that money to reward and discourage car commuters who leave their cars at home to jump on a bus, train or tram.

GO FOR A TRIAL of 'Hagley Road Rush Hour Trial, viz

essential road users in rush hours must register to avoid the cameras fining them for thoughtless behaviour.

Non-essential car users are fined but also rewarded by regional, Fare-Free Public Transport on bus, train, tram.

Paid for by abandoning expansion of the new modes, like the two main trams and Sprint buses being rolled out in the W Midlands.

Cameras fining unregistered vehicles between 0600 hrs and 1000 hrs; and, 1500 hrs to 1900 hrs.  8 hrs a day, Monday to Friday.

Even tourist/visitor drivers are not exempt.  But keep penalty to £10 per session (one session is the 4 hr window)

Ignorance is no excuse.
