"Speaking to BBC CWR about the Very Light Railway (VLR) system in Coventry, Mr Parker said there were "a number of stages we need to get through before we get it up-and-running".

What odds are the bookies giving?
Uncertainty, or practicality? Methinks the latter. He knows Rome wasn't built in a day.

I reckon its Westminster v. Birmingham politics and the release of funding by Westminster.

It was rumoured that the real reason Coventry was given the VLR system by Westminster was a political fudge to keep Coventry politicians quiet due to Coventry not being served by the new HS2 line?
