What Is Happening On The Midland Metro?

I am looking forward to taking a train to Birmingham and then getting on a tram of the Midland Metro at New Street station.

This article in Construction Enquirer is entitled Balfour months late on £127m Birmingham Metro and gives some details of the delays.

But surely, this project should have been delivered some months ago?

The article also says that the trams will reach Centenary Square in 2019. As these will be battery operated trams, it does seem a rather long time to create just a few stops without any catenary.

Compare the progress of expansion in Birmingham to that in Manchester, where a much more complicated Second City Crossing is being built and you come to some interesting conclusions about Birmingham and the delivery of projects for the Midland Metro..

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
