A review of plans to overhaul public transport in the West Midlands concludes projects are at risk.
A review included focus on the new railway station being constructed on St Mary's Row as part of Birmingham's £69m Camp Hill Line project
The report also said there was risk - albeit classified as low - to two other high-profile projects, the reopening of stations on the Camp Hill Line in Birmingham and the Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro extension. "Unrealistic political commitments, that were often made without securing the necessary funding or undertaking essential preparatory work, have undermined progress and placed undue pressure on the system", Mr Parker said.It focused on the £69m Camp Hill Line, Birmingham, project; phases one and two of Wednesbury to Brierley Hill Metro Extension; and the £30m station for Aldridge, Walsall.
