From what I can tell they are now doing the old pavement so it's slabbed.

Hopefully it want take them long to do the works

Road layout changed again load of cones got rid off looks like they are getting ready for buses to use under pass and temp bus stop on Hagley road been moved to the old bus stop site with a gap in the boards for access to the tram stops

Why is this part of the extension riddled with increasing delays.   First target for open was by end of 2021 which was missed and MML blamed COVID restrictions and weather for causing delays, 

Then the mayor said line will be ready for June 2022 and this as again been missed.

Surley won't be long till the whole section has to be closed for a retrack 

It's just all the pedestrian crossing points that are breaking up and keep being bodged up
