My puny efforts to get passenger trains and stations reinstated on 38 miles of existing, double track rail lines in Birmingham and the Black Country. Some, such as the Stourbridge, Dudley, Walsall rail line has its middle section reserved for trams that forever prevent passenger trains returning.

About Me
- Tim Weller
- Halesowen, West Midlands, United Kingdom
- One happy old man climbing 1,000 major hills in the UK and planting 1,000 trees - both since 1980 and now achieved but continuing! Full-time cycle commuter since October 2003. My family of six bikes; four humans with four full driving licences; three vacuum cleaners; one pet rat; and, ONE 12.5 year old car.
Torridon, NW Scotland

"The Dudley / Brierley Hill extension was a wasted opportunity. It should have been built to the same specification as the Sheffield tram trains and extended to allow services to run on the disused line, from Brownhills (or even Lichfield) to Walsall and onto Wednesbury, Dudley, BH and Stourbridge.
"The reinstated line could also have been used by busy freight services to and from the North East / South West, avoiding the congested lines around Birmingham."
SELF:
All they had to do was to finish what they had already built and put commuter and regional trains, plus stations, back on the missing middle section of 56 Kms between Stourbridge Jct and Burton on Trent. That would have completed the 120 Kms Black Country Railway "of national strategic significance" (letter from Network Rail/DfT on 18 March 2018) and brought much welcome relief to train and road users alike!
