With more imagination the Metro could have been brought through to Low Level with a lift to High Level. Low level could have been a heritage centre with cafés and bar's and maybe a static loco on exhibition like Moor Street.
Furthermore the Metro would have been perfectly placed to be extended to Bentley Bridge, Wednesfield and even Bloxwich and Lichfield.
I am a big believer in light rail.
As much as I love the old heavy steam loco's, fast clean and regular is the way forward.
your right Wolverhampton and Swindon were great sheds,but for me there was something about old oak common,that was just surreal.
