This is the shape of the future Midland Metro network in Wolverhampton and the Black Country. (see plan for download and media use below)
Public transport promoter Centro has released a new map of the route from the city centre to Wednesbury via Wednesfield, Willenhall and Walsall. The £300 million scheme backed by local councils aims to see trams running by 2013.
There are 27 new tram stops proposed along the route, including an interchange with the new £3.2m bus station in Wednesbury town centre.
Centro’s Exhibition Bus will be on Camphill Lane, near the bus station, between 10am and 3pm next Thursday, 17th February for future passengers to view the plans. People will also be able to discuss the new route with members of the Metro project team.
The exhibition will also be at other venues along the proposed route in the coming month for people to have their say.
A separate Midland Metro extension from the existing Line One at Wednesbury to Brierley Hill via Dudley town centre was approved by the Government just before Christmas.
