    I’d guess it’s to do with replacing the block paving at The Crescent stop, as they’ve recently done at Bilston Central

    There’s also an 8km speed restriction just after Bradley Lane by the bridge, it’s been there for a while, so i’d guess there might be either track or bridgework coming up there soon, too.
