Very Light Rail centre ceases trading
The Black Country Innovation Manufacturing Organisation in Dudley has been placed in Administration. BCIMO included the Very Light Rail National Innovation Centre, and the site had been well known for testing a Very Light Rail system, which is planned for Coventry.

Work to modernise the Liverpool to Wrexham line is going ahead. Upgrades on the line at Padeswood have been confirmed as the first major step to run more trains.

Several open access proposals being considered by the Office of Rail and Road have been rejected. They include three from Virgin Trains as well as one each from Alstom and FirstGroup.
