Yes well Andy Burnham is going to have a field day with his expectations of funding from the new Government which in all probability will be met. In the meantime our mayor, whose name escapes me, appears to be deferring all progress on transport schemes for the West Mids, with the probable exception of his beloved bus franchising, subject to a review of all those schemes which probably won't be completed before the next mayoral election. Looks like Manchester can flourish while the West Mids can put up with what they already have. Come back Andy asap!
