WHILE I agree with many of the comments regarding the new bus station, I feel I must comment on the state of the train service in Redditch.

Many of the trains on the Cross City Line have been reduced in size to three carriages from six.

This often means the trains are full at peak time, leaving people unable to board.

Trains are often late running, sometimes terminating at Barnt Green or Longbridge, again leaving people stranded.

Trains are cancelled without warning, leaving people unable to get to and from work on time.

With poor bus and train services, plus expensive car parking, Redditch will never attract shoppers and tourists.

I think that would be a pity given that so many new shops are about to open.
