The Conservative Party has reignited discussion by pledging to commission a feasibility study for a large-scale underground transit system—nicknamed the ‘Brumderground’—should they gain control of the council. The pledge was unveiled in a social media video featuring London’s iconic Tube, teasing the prospect with the caption: “Coming to Birmingham soon?” However, this announcement has been met with scepticism from many, who recall a similar study conducted around 20 years ago that concluded trams were the more viable option for Birmingham.
