It took 3 years to lay 3/4 mile of track from Snow Hill to New Street. How long to reach the airport?
Yes it does seem a long time but there is a difference between relaying track on an existing railway and laying down a new tramway where you have to dig down below the existing foundations of the road to find all the services many of which have not been mapped. Also you do not know what you will find like the old road that was found under Victoria Square which the archaeologists had to check out.Is it just me or is this project taking an inordinate time to complete? Network rail seem to carry out complex work on the railways over a weekend. This tramway goes on for ever.
No, not if it is issued in Devon, but I believe so for a Midlander or are you like Londoners and have a special all forms of transport free pass. I know because my journey to Wolverhampton for four of us cost me over £16.00Just a thought, do pensioner's bus passes work on the Metro?
Only West Midlands passes. This is because this is funded by WMCA not the government.Just a thought, do pensioner's bus passes work on the Metro?
WMCA is not Brums reply to YMCA is it, West Midlands C??? A???Only West Midlands passes. This is because this is funded by WMCA not the government.
It is confusing because there are different rules for the different tram systems throughout the country. I can use my pass on Sheffield trams but not Nottingham trams which accept only Nottingham City Council and Nottingham County Council passes (but at different times of day!!).
West Midlands Combined Authority. Just think back many years to the West Midlands County Council (1974 until abolished under Margaret Thatcher) but with different powers. A further tier of local government imposed on us a few years ago).WMCA is not Brums reply to YMCA is it, West Midlands C??? A???

Once more a superb collection of pictures. 110 years ago they would have been postcards. Please keep them coming.The tracks are all connected to Centenary Square.

Towards the Hyatt.
Broad Street beyond here is mostly closed, I think as far as Ryland Street (where the buses are diverted).
