Concerns over the Great Crested Newt, Pipistrelle Bat, and Meridian Blue have delayed the proposed high speed rail link from London to Birmingham, but now researchers have identified a new species at risk if the link does not proceed.

Ian Pod, of the Commuter Action Group, said that the great days when vast flocks of male commuters in their striking grey striped plumage swarmed to and from their feeding grounds in the City would soon be a faint memory.
