Equally... Is there a date on the new street extension being completed? Only info I can find atm is just that work resumes early this year, which it has
I've heard it is due to open in Late February now... From a Centro member of staff.

The Erection of the Tram Shelters in Corporation St and Stephenson St, have to be completed  first, there is also the Pavement work  to be completed in  Stephenson St and Corporation St ,  when this is done the next phase will be to test the tram on the track,  this may done in the early hours of the morning with a police or other escort, or the track may be tested during the hours of daylight,  as they did for the section to  Bull St,

The enterance for Snow Hill still has to be built

I'm not sure there'll be an entrance other than walking down alongside the grassed track past the station and in front of those new office blocks.

I'm sure there was something mentioned about connecting it to the Livery Street end of Snow Hill. Maybe a bridge?

The information pillar at the Corporation Street stop mentions the 6 minute frequency coming soon.

The Express & Star report today that preparation work is to start in May 2016 on the extension along Piper's Row and Railway Drive to Wolverhampton Railway Station.

That's very interesting. I hope they lay the rails the right way round - if you look at the picture in the link by the town hall the rails have the railhead on the inside and the flangeway on the outside.

Think the lorry has broken down or there is some issue, as it was still there when I went past an hour later.
