Rumours are that it's going to tie in with another new Dudley College campus and a Driverless car test centre (the latter is rumoured to be putting in a bid for the site of the former Hippodrome on castle hill)

Worth an update in this ever changing world.

The Very Light Rail National Innovation Centre as its seems to be called today is operated by BCIMO.
https://bcimo.co.uk/

Quote " This brand-new centre has been constructed thanks to funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC), the Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership (BCLEP) in partnership with the Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF), the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) and Coventry City Council".

Is it also worth keeping a list of rail vehicles at this Centre?

1. I hear that the vandalised PPM no 12 has recently turned up.
2. Midland Metro Class T69 vehicle – 'Tram 16'.
3. Coventry VLR prototype.
4. Main line shunter 08892
5. .... anything else?
