We recently brought you the news that the second phase of the Birmingham Westside extension between Library and Hagley Road was making good progress with firstly the new tracks connected with the existing line at Library and then a few days later a significant concrete pour to encase those rails into the surface. On Monday 21st September, Dan Noon took a walk along the extension and the following photos show what he found.

Looking from Broad Street down to the stop at Library with two trams waiting to depart. The track here is that which has recently been welded to the existing line.
‘This is Broad Street not Corporation Street. Also columns being erected for wiring so will not be battery operated.
