But the autumn 2023 deadline came and went and with construction works continuing alongside the stop there were no signs of trams returning, although ticket machines were installed.<\/p>\n<p>August 2025 saw the first signs that trams may return to service soon with a closure to allow for works to take place and now it has been confirmed that Monday 29<sup>th<\/sup> September will see trams running to St George\u2019s once more (two years, one month and a day later!).<\/p>\n<p>But its not quite as simple as saying its open permanently as that won\u2019t be happening until November. It will be used Monday to Saturday only and between 0700 and 1900 only.<\/p>\n<p>The temporary timetable will run Monday 29<sup>th<\/sup> September to Saturday 18<sup>th<\/sup> October.<\/p>\n<p>Monday-Saturday:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Start of service to 0700, trams every 15 minutes Wolverhampton Station to Edgbaston Village<\/li>\n<li>0700-1900 trams every 15 minutes from Wolverhampton Station and Wolverhampton St George\u2019s to Edgbaston Village.

This will also mark the start of driver training onto the Eastside extension to the temporary terminus at Millennium Point.<\/p>\n<p>The article on the West Midlands Metro website concludes: \u201cThere will be some changes to services during November and December. This is to ensure that we can continue to provide a safe, reliable and robust service once the new stops at Albert Street and Millennium Point are open. We will share more information about these planned changes as we approach these milestones.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trams are set to return to Wolverhampton St George\u2019s for the first time in just over two years from Monday 29th September with West Midlands Metro announcing plans for a temporary timetable to run for three weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60254"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=60254"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60255,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60254\/revisions\/60255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=60254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=60254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=60254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
