Tree brings a halt to West Midlands Metro services

A large tree across the tracks between Dudley Street and Dartmouth Street on Sunday 27th January saw West Midlands Metro services disrupted for several hours whilst it was removed and safety checks made to check for any possible damage to the infrastructure. Trams were only able to run initially between Grand Central and West Bromwich Central and from Black Lake to Wolverhampton St George’s before the Birmingham section was able to be extended to Dudley Street.
