Wolverhampton St George's tram stop


Wolverhampton St George's tram stop is a tram stop in Wolverhampton, England. It was opened on 31 May 1999 and is the current terminus of the West Midlands Metro Line 1. The stop is located on Bilston Street. It is one of two stops on the Wolverhampton end of the Metro that are not on the former railway track bed.
The stop was built as a single island platform with two platform faces, with a crossover just outside the stop, though in 2015, the northern track was removed, leaving just the southern platform in use by trams. It is on the edge of Wolverhampton's main shopping area, and around from Wolverhampton railway station.
A branch running from St. George's to the nearby bus and rail stations is expected to open in 2021, with plans to add a loop through Market Street and Lichfield Street at a later date.

Services

Mondays to Fridays, Midland Metro services in each direction between Birmingham and Wolverhampton run at six to eight-minute intervals during the day, and at fifteen-minute intervals during the evenings and on Sundays. They run at eight-minute intervals on Saturdays.
Following the opening of the route to Wolverhampton railway station in 2021, the frequency of services at this stop will be reduced to between two and four trams per hour.
