West Midlands Metro (originally named Midland Metro) is a light-rail/tram system in the county of West Midlands, England. The extension
Opened on 30 May 1999, it currently consists of a single route, Line 1, which operates between the cities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton via the towns of Bilston, West Bromwich and Wednesbury, running on a mixture of reopened disused railway line (the Birmingham Snow Hill to Wolverhampton Low Level Line) and on-street running in urban areas. The line originally terminated at Birmingham Snow Hill station, but with extensions opened in 2015 and 2019, now runs into Birmingham City Centre to terminate at Library in Centenary Square.
The extension to Centenary Square was cancelled in 2021 in order to construct a junction near Bull Street to account for the East-side Extension to Curzon Street, which will connect to HS2. The line was reconstructed and operations till Library (Centenary Square) recommenced on 12th February 2022.
The route includes stops at Birmingham New Street and other key locations in the area. The tram system connects cities such as Birmingham and Wolverhampton through a mix of former railway lines and urban streets. Operational details include headcodes 1B03 and 4E00, with the line serving multiple towns along its path.
