“Out and About” today is in the West Midlands as we head to the Metro where we see trams changing over at Wednesbury Parkway.
With its three platform layout and its location just by the West Midlands Metro depot, Wednesbury Parkway is well placed to change over trams when one has a fault and needs to go in for some attention. And so it was when this photo was taken with new Urbos100 38 suffering from a fault as it was working a northbound service to Wolverhampton St George’s. The tram was diverted into platform 3 (the outer platform of the island) and Urbso3 17 was already ready and waiting to continue the journey north in the adjacent platform 2.
