As we reported on last week, Wednesday 13th November saw the latest naming on the West Midlands Metro with 28 being named Jasper Carrott in a special ceremony which took place at the new Town Hall stop on the Westside extension. In this additional pictorial we take a further look at the tram arriving and being named with images coming from Andy Walters.
