Over the past few weeks a good amount of preparation work has been underway for the start of the construction of the Wolverhampton City Centre extension of Midland Metro and now the first real signs of progress can be seen. The extension will be leaving the current line at Piper’s Row from where it will travel to a new interchange at Wolverhampton Railway Station. Photos from Andy Walters.
