Today’s “Lockdown Walks” is off to central England again as we take a look at the West Midlands Metro.
Handsworth Booth Street has been open since the Midland Metro system opened on 31st May 1999 and is located between the stops at The Hawthorns and Winson Green. With platforms either side of the tracks it also sees the railway line between Birmingham and Worcester running alongside beyond the fence.
This side on view shows the front of CAF built Urbos3 35 at Handsworth Booth Street on its way into Birmingham. (Photograph by Dan Noon, 2nd June 2021)
