A previous extension on the West Midlands Metro – and the latest extension to open on a UK tramway – was that to Edgbaston Village. On 12th May 2022 testing took place along Broad Street which included two trams running in the same direction on gauging tests, electrical surge and load testing. The two trams were 39 and 40.

The race is on! Will 2023 see three new tram extensions finally open?
