Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the feasibility of reopening the branch rail line passing through Dudley town centre.
The Government announced in January 2015 that it was providing Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership funding to establish a Very Light Rail Innovation Centre in the Black Country which will help to create new public transport technologies for the future. The promoters will also look at the possibility of re-opening the branch line in the future.
