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The service, set to be withdrawn at the end of the year serves many Walsall and Wolverhampton residents, providing a quick and reliable connection between the two boroughs and giving much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.
