Midland Metro

The Midland Metro was opened in 1999. Sixteen tramcars run over 20km of route between Birmingham Snow Hill and Wolverhampton St Georges, principally using a former railway route with 2km of street running at the Wolverhampton end. A total of 23 stops service Bilston, Wednesbury, West Bromwich and Handsworth between the two city centres. Three direct rail interchanges provide connections with suburban trains. An on street extension from Snow Hill into through Birmingham city centre to New Street station is the most progressed of several proposed extensions.

Midland Metro is operated by Travel Metro, part of National Express Group.
