West Midlands Metro:

Due to emergency bridge repairs required between the Jewellery Quarter and Soho Benson Rd by Network Rail, tram services may be affected on Thursday 24 January.

Work will take place from the end of service on Wednesday until completed. Network Rail hopes to complete the works before the first tram runs however if works run over the following tram service will operate. Please check the latest information from West Midlands Metro before you travel.


No service will operate between Grand Central and Soho Benson Road.

Passengers are advised to use National Express West Midlands bus service 74 from West Bromwich Bus Station Stand H to Birmingham.

Passengers travelling from Birmingham towards West Brom should use stop SH5 on Old Square, near the Square Peg Pub.

Quite surprised if this bridge work is such an emergency, that trams have been allowed to continue until close of service.

For what it's worth, you can get healthy stuff on Just Eat too. It's the parent's fault if they go on there and order junk food for their kids.

Contravision, whoever invented that needs shooting, windows are for looking through, not for obscuring with stupid adverts.
