Just because there’s social distancing doesn’t mean we can’t still have community meetings- tonight’s is about the Hazelwell Station in Stirchley with @marylockelabour @BhamCityCouncil and @WMRailExecutive

Stations have been designed around pedestrian access. They're not designed to be park and ride because there's no room - they don't even want to encourage it with a small car park. "local stations for local people"

Turns out @WestMidRailway want to put fancy new trains on the fancy new line...these trains are currently under construction.

Want to develop new stations around the idea of community assets, rather than being imposed on the community.

Okay, next up John Myatt from @BhamCityCouncil talking about integrating Hazelwell Station into the area. Their colleague Tim is also dialled into the meeting.

Talking about the @BhamCityCouncil / @bhamconnected transport plan and COVID-19's emergency transport plan and how the Council doesn't want to see people return to their cars and wants to encourage (safe) use of public transport.
