1000 - West Midlands Metro: Tipton Junction & Wednesbury Parkway on Monday 16th February 2026

Welcome to Podbaba Transport Video 1000 filmed around the new Tipton Junction at Wednesbury, Wednesbury Great Western Street and Wednesbury Parkway on Monday 16th January 2026. On our return from Birmingham City Centre, the tram on which we were travelling, 30, developed door faults and had to be changed over with CAF Urbos 100, 41, that has been out on test all morning. Over the previous weekend, the overhead had been connected at Tipton Junction so the power was switched off between Wednesbury Parkway and Lodge Road West Bromwich town hall so trams were running with pantographs down. We also filmed Tipton Junction in both directions as it was our last chance to film the incomplete pointwork. Over the next two days, the facing points in each direction will be installed in readiness for tram testing to begin in earnest at the beginning of March 2026 with driver training starting in April 2026. As we were on board 30 at the time, we filmed its approach to Wednesbury Parkway and entering the siding into platform 3 in order to return to depot. We also managed to capture a video (not perfect) of CAF Urbos 100, 47, wearing its yellow "there's no place like itv" unceremoniously parked in the depot yard where it has spent most of the period in which it has carried the advert, only venturing out on rare occasions onto the network.
