A West Midlands railway line which has been closed to passengers for 50 years could be reopened in a £20m scheme. Dudley Council and Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) - part of the University of Warwick - plans to reconnect Dudley to the national rail network and build a 'light rail innovation hub' in the town centre. The hub, which would create 50 jobs, would develop light rail technology. [From Richard Buckby]
