Power problems cause issues on West Midlands Metro

Sunday 15th December saw service disruption on the West Midlands Metro after a loss of power saw trams only able to operate between Wolverhampton St George’s and Black Lake. Reasons for the power going down are not known but it was first reported at 0740 with the service remaining disrupted until 1100 when it was possible to run back through all the way to the Library again. The power supply problems also meant that the platform passenger information displays were not working meaning passengers weren’t kept fully informed of what was going on.
