Please remember to sign to save the Wolverhampton-Walsall train service

Originally published by West Midlands Liberal Democrats

There are nearly 500 signatures to save the Wolverhampton to Walsall train service, the deadline is October 24 so there is still time to sign the petition at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/walsallrail/

The service, set to be withdrawn at the end of the year serves many Walsall and Wolverhampton residents, providing a quick and reliable connection between the two boroughs and giving much needed access to connecting rail services. Existing bus services take over 40 minutes to cover the 15-minute rail journey.

Thanks to the increase in reliability and punctuality on the Walsall-Wolverhampton line, the number of people taking advantage of this service has risen significantly to 60,000 per year. The planned withdrawal will result in a great opportunity lost to build on this success further.
