...is being delayed.

Disappointment as Solihull Metro expansion to NEC delayed - but alternatives being considered

Work on the new East Birmingham to Solihull line was due to start by 2024

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/disappointment-solihull-metro-expansion-nec-23041945

Oddly the article doesn't give any information as to why this plan is being postponed.

But this was surely the whole point of the Eastside extension, to eventually be extended into East Birmingham and North Solihull to connect to the airport and NEC?
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

The coventry rapid system is tipped to end up going towards the NEC with plans to integrate with Midland metro.
