They will be more Police Officers patrolling the Metro from today to reduce Crime and ASB

Is there any update on St George's? Also new metro shelters built at Dudley and Birmingham Albert street. Albert street seems to be a one stop shelter, trams stopping on the road. Not sure if this is ideal considering there's a ton of buses that use that road too.

Another 'hotspot' that will no doubt appear on the Twitter page at some point, preventing trams from operating properly, joining the Bull Street to Five Ways, Wolves to Priestfield etc sections, as regular posts on there!

Noting on St Georges, Anyone know it was taken out of use in the Frist place?

the only thing thats reliable about the tram is its unrelaibility

When was the last time there was major unplanned disruption on the Metro? I use it weekly and can't remember any.

Give me the Metro over WMR any time.

There always seems to be problems on the same sections regularly, if you read the Twitter feed.

Lost track of how many parked cars on the line from Bull Street to Five Ways, or there's an issue between Wolves & Priestfield!

Couple of years ago with two lots first some track work between St Georges and Priestfeild that meant Green Bus were running a shuttle bus and then Bridge works in Bilston with no trams between Wednesbury and St George's prompting the 79A or the 79A was extended to West Bromwich and then of course the Trams themselves had cracks prompting the good old 79 to have to rescue it and BC lending a hand on West Brom matchdays by loaning in two or four MMC's

More works on the metro between Wolverhampton and Wednesbury as a result the 79 will run later I think something like the last two or three departures from Wolves terminate at Wednesbury and the last 79 is now at 00:15 from West Bromwich
