    Add it to what? We already have BCC and the Birmingham to Crewe route which offer local services in the West Midlands and Walsall as a standalone route is not going to be that great against its two much more substantial cousins.

    What's the rolling stock, What route, Stations, Tph etc.
    Could you give a more explained reason to why you would want this extension

    No, Birmingham International - Rugeley Trent Valley.

    This then would give you mutiple routes layed in, WCML South Euston to Birmingham 350, 390 etc. Cardiff City network Birmingham International to all North places. Plus full route to Rugeley Trent Valley.

    Unless it included the Wolverhampton branch subject to new stations. Could work.

    Would open up better workings for Bescot Stadium or Tame Bridge Parkway etc etc

    Then when or if the Class 730s are given green light then seperate Rugeley Trent Valley line. Would no doubt be layered into this route.
