A GROUP that represents rail users has blasted changes on a line that goes through Wyre Forest as "not good enough".

The Stourbridge Line User Group is calling for action on the route, which passes through Hartlebury, Kidderminster and Blakedown, following numerous disruptions.

Members accuse the Strategic Rail Authority of showing "a disregard for the actual needs of people travelling to and from this area" in its six-year strategy.

Group chairman, Nigel Tolley, who plans to use its annual public meeting, on Wednesday, to air views, said: "The strategy outlines a way forward but it looks to us like it's been put together in London with local railways treated as an add-on to the main inter-city routes."

The group can be contacted during office hours on 01384 820040.
