Hi folks
I know that the South Staffs line from Potters Lane, Wednesbury towards Brierley Hill is being readied to become Line 2 of the Metro but does anyone know if Network Rail are going to clear the line northwards from Potters Lane to the Bescot Curve and Pleck junctions so that freight traffic could be reinstated?
It would be a shame if this wasn’t considered given that the South Staffs corridor would be functional again and freight companies I think would relish the thought of having a more direct route through the West Midlands being available.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
