West Midlands Metro Slideshow June 2022

Between Thursday 23rd June 2022 and Saturday 25th June 2022, we returned to the West Midlands Metro to photograph and video the entire system as operational on those dates. Due to the maintenance issues with the CAF Urbos 3 trams (17-37), none of them were in service, though four were available and could be identified by having no blue vinyls where the major bodywork has been carried out. However, all of the CAF Urbos 100s that have, so far, been delivered (38-45) were in service and we managed to photograph them all over the whole of the system from Wolverhampton St.George's to Birmingham Bull Street. You will see from the slideshow that there are a number of issues with every single one of the new trams too, inasmuch as some have no working destinations screens, others show the wrong destination (Bull Street when going to Wolverhampton and vice versa). In addition, none of the internal screens were working (some did show the CAF Urbos 100 new generation screen), only some had onboard voice announcements and certainly number 45 was giving out sporadic incorrect stops, such as St.Chad's at Trinity Way and the stop announcements seem to cut in and out at various stops. Some of the trams had doors out of use and all of them gave a huge jolt as they set off from stops. The so-called "real time" information at stops seems to be a best guess rather then real time where 1 minutes really means "should come soon" and quite often a tram due in 1 minute on the screen at Black did not arrive before one in the opposite direction arrived and departed with 3 minutes before the shown departure. In short, all did not seem to be well! However with just eight trams in service a frequency of between 12 and 15 minutes did seem to be maintained though there were often issues at the Royal (in Wolverhampton) where trams switched from "pan up" to "pan down" as far as St.George's and often had to do a couple of resets taking a few minutes to get going again. On the plus side, as ever at West Midlands Metro, the trams were meticulously clean inside and out. Look out for the two very smart allover adverts - 39 with a very colourful advert for Birmingham University and 42 advertising NOURISHED protein gums - made in Birmingham In this production, we also walk along, and photograph, the Deritend extension and Castle Street in Dudley and walk the completed (but non-operational) line from Edgbaston Village to Grand Central, presumably due to a shortage of operational trams. We also look at the Wolverhampton extension to Wolverhampton railway station from just short of St.George's with two stops, Piper's Row (the buses call it Wolverhampton Bus Station) and Wolverhampton Railway Station. It appears to be nowhere near ready at the station end and it is difficult to see it opened for the Commonwealth Games as planned (well at least not the 2022 games!). Interestingly, having been at University and knowing Broad Street and the Hagley Road well, I notice that buses go to Brindley Place (correct) but the metro goes to Brindleyplace (all one word) and buses go to Fiveways (correct) yet the metro goes to Five Ways (two separate words). Bearing in mind the whole system comes under one Combined Transport Authority, one would have thought the stop terminology would be the same. There is also a slide show of all the stops with there new zones labelled and all of the trams at various points along the system. We hope that you enjoy this slideshow and that you will like and subscribe. Podbaba Transport. June 2022.
