CAF Birmingham Blue Tram to Wolverhampton, in New Street Birmingham, West Midlands, England, UK
West Midlands Metro (originally named Midland Metro) is a light-rail/tram line in the county of West Midlands, England. 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 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 Birmingham Library in Centenary Square, with further extension underway and due to be complete in 2021. The system is owned by the public body Transport for West Midlands, and operated through Midland Metro Ltd, a company wholly owned by the West Midlands Combined Authority. Extensions to Line 1, to Edgbaston at the southern end and Wolverhampton railway station in the north are currently under construction. Construction of a new Line 2 from Wednesbury to Brierley Hill was approved in March 2019
