Hagley road

pensenttdriver,

PE's Hagley Rd services would be included within this scheme?

- Black Country West (A4123/A459 between Wolverhampton, Dudley and Quinton) - 126 (WN)

I'm sure I read, in one of the many documents on the Centro website, that the Hagley Road would be the first 'Sprint' route. But I might just be remembering that incorrectly.

Have any timescales for when Sprint is to be introduced been announced yet?

I don't know whether I've been in hibernation or something... what is "Sprint"? Sounds like an energy drink!

BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a tram-like system, but using articulated buses instead of tramlines.

This is the document which shows potential Metro / BRT lines: (see page 5)
