Having previously looked at the first part of the first phase of the West Midlands Metro extension to Dudley in our last pictorial article we now return to the route to see the remainder of the route as we start to head onto the streets of the town towards the terminus. Andy Walters is again back with the photos.
We continue on our way into the centre of Dudley. Looking over the far side we can see the stop at Tipton Road which like many others on the line now has shelters going up.

The line raises as it approaches the centre of Dudley.
Track and final surface is in place outside the Birmingham Central Mosque on Castle Hill.
More track in place as the line continues to make it towards Dudley Bus Station.
Dudley Castle with a wall of poppies looks down on the construction works.
With the Dudley Town Centre branch of Iceland in the background the track here is on the final approach towards the temporary terminus.
The line reaches its end – at least for now – at Flood Street in Dudley. Tramstop construction is at an earlier stage. (All Photographs by Andy Walters, 3rd November 2024)
