I fully agree with David Wrottesley’s letter ‘Fiery Jack lies under Spital Hill’ (May 27).

It is with slight amusement that I didn’t see the Green Party candidate making it an election issue to reopen the rail line that passes through Burngreave to passengers either as a tram extension or railway line, or lobby for any improvements to public transport in the area at all for that matter, before or after being voted in.

I wonder if they might like to rectify this now?
