In this article we again head out to say some progress on West Midlands Metro construction works. Not only do we venture onto the Black Country line in this update but also the current Birmingham-Wolverhampton line where there is also some ongoing work. Andy Walters provides the images for this update.
For a change this update does actually start on the long-standing line. This is Bilston Central where they are currently put block paving in between the rails. The southbound platform has already been dealt with and attention has now been turned towards the northbound platform.
Moving over to the Black Country line and this is the location of the stop at Sedgley Road. This is an elevated section of the line and as can be seen in this image work has been taking place on the stop with a long shelter currently being installed.
And at Horseley Road – which is lower than the road surface – work has been continuing on the installation of the lift shaft to provide access down to the stop. (All Photographs by Andy Walters)
