PLANS FOR FURTHER METRO EXTENSIONS? Wolverhampton City Council leader Neville Patten has revealed that they are looking into the possibility of extending Midland Metro into the suburbs of the city. No funding is in place for any of the proposed extensions and the idea of adding Tettenhall, Penn and the A449 Stafford Road has only recently been discussed.
Plans had previously been discussed to extend the tram from the current Wolverhampton St Georges terminus to the soon to be redeveloped railway station interchange, but these new plans have not previously been revealed publicly.
Cllr Patten said: “There is talk of branch lines coming in from Wolverhampton down to Tettenhall, Penn and even down the Stafford Road. Of course this is a very long way off and until we get the funding for the Birmingham part of the expansion, none of this can happen.”
