Still can't work out the logic in keeping the St Georges stop and having to have trams run to there instead of all to the rail station
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Because not everyone wants to go to the rail station y'know. They may want to go to to the Mander Centre or Market. Plus what about those who may not be able to walk the longer distance without being in discomfort?

According to express and stat the extension to wolvo won't open this side of Christmas.  They are blaming COVID, lack of supplies

Construction started in March 2018, though I agree it does feel like 10 years!

At the rate the Merry Hill extension is going, it'll be 2050 by time the Wolverhampton Rail Extension is open!

When I visited last week the station stop wasn't complete, with the area around the rails unfinished, and Pipers Row by the bus station was being dug up for no obvious reason.
