With the slight easing of restrictions by the government this week thee is expected to be an increase in the number of passengers travelling by public transport as additional people will have no choice but to do so in order to start working again. To take this into account, West Midlands Metro have announced that from Friday 15th May a new revised service will run, a service which is very similar to one of the previous revised timetables.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The current all day, every day 15 minute frequency will be improved between 0630 and 2000 Monday to Saturday when trams will now run every 12 minutes. The Sunday service will remain as it has been for some time with a tram every 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
