FINISH THE UK'S LAST MOTHBALLED, 120 KMS MAINLINE RAILWAY WITH TRAINS AND STATIONS, NOT TRAMS

Rise up, rebel against roads into railways and railways into roads.
Now, in the 3rd year of spending £15 billion of deadly greenhouse gases on 150 miles of "bus on rails" trams, instead of electric buses directly on roads and TRAINS on the 120 Kms Black Country Railway to complete our section between Derby, Dudley and Devon.

Why is this important?

The authorities want a multi-modal mish-mash of trains, and three different kinds of "bus on rails" trams on the ready-built but unused middle section of the Black Country Bypass Brum Principal Mainline Railway. This, for £500 m when finishing it for freight, commuter/regional trains and stations would be a fraction of that price.

How it will be delivered

At a West Midlands Combined Authority Board meeting. Delivered in person and/or by email.
