Some people might live along the bus route though and not be able to walk to the station, plus if it's cheaper I'm sure people will use it.

Maybe. They generally werent though as the 63 has recently suffered cuts due to the popularity of the train service

Same has been said about the 1, 2, 2E.. "there's a good train link between Walsall, Landywood and Cannock". Yes there is if you live in walking distance, otherwise it may aswel go to the North Pole it's of no use.

Trains much quicker though.

Hold on, aren't you normally normally berating Arriva for not running services despite the train existing?
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Hednesford and Cannock stns are pretty central or a 5 min ride on pye greens generally if not. Bloxwich/Turnberry areas are within easy walking distance of both stns?

The carpark is there but nothing else, it would be starting from scratch and there's no point when it's a few seconds away from Landywood. Only benefit would be to those in the village who have to walk to the station.

That's the old Great Wyrley Station from the 1960s you are referring to, that car park has nothing to do with any planned new station. The talk of the new one was by the M6 Toll bridge to create a park and ride site

Nothing has been mentioned to me, our community is working with WMR at the moment with a local project. Any money the council would have contributed is going to Cannock station now.

It's coming from the county council, not district.
