InTramCities with Gordon Stewart

West Midlands (Birmingham to Wolverhampton), United Kingdom : 16th August 2016
There had been virtually no progress with the metro line linking the UK's second city with neighbouring Wolverhampton along a disused former railway alignment for 20 years until December 2015 when the line, now rebranded as a tramway, was extended into the centre of Birmingham as the first phase of what is hoped to be a considerable expansion in the next few years 
Birmingham city centre is an intriguing mix of late Victorian grandeur and post-war modernism as illustrated by the view above of a tram on Corporation Street approaching the eponymous tram stop from Grand Central, the new name for the redeveloped Birmingham New Street Station complex, where the new extension to the tram line currently terminates in Stephenson Street having been extended from Bull Street at the end of May 2016. Birmingham is undergoing considerable redevelopment as witnessed by the large number of cranes and shiny new office blocks. Surface trams will be part of this urban regeneration, with the line planned to be extended to Victoria Square and Broad Street passing a number of major traffic generators such as the International Convention Centre and the Symphony Hall and will eventually be extended to the inner suburb of Edgbaston. A decision has been made to dispense with overhead catenary in the Victoria Square area where the line will pass close to the Victorian architectural set-pieces of the Town Hall, Council House and Museum and Art Gallery and it is expected that the CAF Urbos 2 trams will be retrofitted with accumulators to bridge the gap in the wires. Further inner-city links are planned to connect with the proposed High Speed Train station at Curzon Street.
