In this edition of “Out and About” we head to the West Midlands Metro again.
It may not have escaped your notice that the start of 2026 has been a tad on the wet side. Just how wet it has been in the West Midlands is pretty clear in this photo taken at Edgbaston Village where the nice grass in between the tracks has become much more of a soggy, muddy mess! At least its likely to mean no-one will try and nip across between the platforms, unless they want very wet feet! The tram which waits on what looks like the less muddy side is Urbos3 29.

One of the worst stops, it seems to have either drain issues or cars have been driving on turning up the grass turning it into a muddy mess
