The amount of jobs mentioned seems very very high to me.
Plans for a major strategic rail hub to boost the West Midlands economy were announced today (Thursday 14 April 2016). If approved, it could create between 6,500 and 8,500 new jobs as well as ease HGV lorry congestion on some of the regions busiest roads.
Early proposals outline a freight interchange with warehousing and other associated development that would be built on land west of Junction 12 of the M6 in southern Staffordshire. The West Midlands Interchange would be linked directly to the West Coast Mainline, one of the countrys principal freight routes, and will be well placed to serve Birmingham, the northern M6 corridor, Staffordshire and parts of Warwickshire.
