I am asking for the full 120 Kms between Worcester and Derby to be completed with commuter and regional TRAINS. Not "bus on rails" trams or tram trains (still trams) that sever the 120 Kms. We need Derby to Devon via Dudley and Burton on Trent to Bristol via Brierley Hill. A train - tram - train railway is stupid when you could do away with the changes and have the trains and stations back over the complete 120 Kms. [email protected]

urgently needed. have put plan together. needs to be built to RA8. My aim is to see bi mode tram trains run a 10 min frequency between Wolverhampton to Aldridge via Walsall, and more importantly Stourbridge Junction to Burton via Walsall, Brownhills, Lichfield, Alrewas and Barton Under Needwood. You have my full support for this vital scheme.

the whole line stourbridge to lichfield urgently needs reopening

The reinstatement of this important line will reduce congestion on overcrowded local roads, will improve public transport links and will benefit business.

Nicholas Mason

I agree reopen the brownhills and south staffordshire line please

Rob Jones

Reopening would really benefit local people in pelsall, brownhills and relieve congestion in the A461

these rail links would help easy congestion off our roads.

Tim Weller

The only, most important, strategic, easily reinstated 65 Km Stourbridge to Burton missing link on the Worcester to Derby main railway in the UK. What complete idiocy not to re-open it at a time of rising congestion on our trains, roads and motorways. At only £4 to £6 m per Km, too!

anthony griffiths

you only have to look at the success of the reopening of the line from Walsall to Rugeley.to see this would also be a success

David Faircloth

This connection has great potential; obviously, it provides local/regional connections, but has the potential to substantially enhance national connectivity for both passenger and freight

Black Country requires upgrade to transport infrastructure to support investment in new housing, industrial capacity, leisure facilities/ tourism.

Need it back ASAP!

This link needs reinstating, together with the railway from Walsall to Stourbridge, for both freight and passenger traffic, to improve local accessibility, relieve the A461 and other local roads and provide a rail bypass for Birmingham.

Re-opening this line would be a shot in the arm for the economy of the area and will improve the quality of life for everyone. The cost is a drop in the ocean compared to HS2.

This would be excellent, more needs spending on upgrading our current rail network and many closed lines, including this one, need re-opening. This is more urgent than HS2.

The South Staffordshire railway Line needs to reopen as soon as centro can get the money to reopen this railway Line.

I live in Walsall Wood, where Ryecroft and Shelfield are even near Brownhills. They have potential to be reopened. Aldridge and Lichfield even Cannock are close by so it has potential to be reopened.

I live in Derby and have family in Sutton Coldfield. I want to use public transport to visit, but currently it is twice the time and twice the cost of my car.
