St George\u2019s is a stop which has undergone transformation since opening in 1999 as back then it had an island platform with tracks either side but now whilst the platform remains an island there are just tracks on one side with the other side available for coaches. This enabled a revised track layout which was required to cater for the longer Urbos3 trams. Once the Railway Station extension opens St George\u2019s will be served by every other tram from Birmingham.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35200\" style=\"width: 319px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=35200\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-35200\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35200\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35200\" title=\"1.22-dn\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.22-dn-309x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"309\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.22-dn-309x550.jpg 309w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.22-dn-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1.22-dn.jpg 716w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 309px) 100vw, 309px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-35200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This first image shows 22 at St George\u2019s awaiting departure. 22 is in the standard fleet livery with no adverts.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_35201\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=35201\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-35201\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35201\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35201\" title=\"2.22-dn\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2.22-dn-550x309.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2.22-dn-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2.22-dn-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2.22-dn.jpg 1273w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-35201\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A close-up of the front section of 22 as it continues to wait at St George\u2019s.
