I fully support improving transport links - though am very sceptical that congestion can be eased through more people using public transport. Great idea , does sometimes work, but these kind of ideas have been banded around many times before, like restricting the size of Work car parks to encourage people to commute using public transport. But it rarely worked and just pushed traffic and parking on to neighbouring streets. So yes, let's improve the commute (with parking) to and from solihull, but don't presume most will not arrive by car. And think in the same way for Knowle!
