General Metro Thread

[4679]

One of the trams made a journey to Wolverton on the back of an Allelys lorry yesterday presumably for repairs to the cracks.

Why send trams away now when service is supposed to be back end of the month.

@Ginger66  @4679  could it be that  tram is  in a worse state than the others

They're back in service on Thursday, running every 12-15 mins between Wolverhampton and Bull Street.

The five way stop still as paving work to be completed.

Despite the tram stops on broad street being blocked off by metal fencing people are standing at them trying to flag buses down
And the dumb look on the face when the bus doesn't stop to pick them up

Rode on 45 to Wolverhampton today. Good loads. Glad they're back - looking forward to riding to Edgbaston.

7 out of 8 trams i saw running today were the new Urbo 100's, nos. 39-45. The odd one out was no.22. So how long will it take before all the older Urbo 3's return to service ?

tram 21 was out saturday not in service with white around the door & asked conductor said about 4-6 weeks

On Friday noticed track laying appears to have finally been completed in Wolverhampton, although much paving still remains to be installed..
 Also trams still appear to be running in and out of St. Georges on battery - possibly because the wiring in Pipers Row hasn't been cleared for energisation?
