Hats off to those that fight for better public transport

- Chris Magner via email

MANY thanks indeed for including my story of Snow Hill. I hope it has been of use and brought back many memories.

I have always admired those who fought for public transport, like John Holland and the Snow Hill Line Action Group, and in some ways the articles were a tribute to all who worked so hard.

Readers may not always know that quite a number of people featured in the articles tried their best against terrible odds to prevent closure. I am all for light railway transport such as the Metro but Snow Hill to Low Level and the connection to Stafford Road Junction should have been kept as a railway.

Ironically, when the Wolverhamp­ton Station link is open on the Metro it will be the first time in history passengers can travel direct from Wolverhamp­ton (former High Level) to Birmingham Snow Hill.

Thank God, we saved Moor Street and Snow Hill is open again.
