I have a glossy brochure about it somewhere - it involved re-use of part of the Darlaston branch closed due to competition from steam trams!

IIRC it involved street running from Darlaston to Walsall and if it was still live would have thought the recent amount of funding for road improvements in Darlaston in connection with the copper works regeneration would have mentioned it.
