Wolverhampton Says Go
Wolverhampton station has a few problems in the past.
- It was short of capacity and a new through platform 4 has been built.
- It needed to be linked to the buses, and a new bus station has been built nearby.
- The Midland Metro terminated in the City Centre, not at the station.
This Google Map shows from the station to the current tram stop.
Wolverhampton City Centre
Note the bus station, which is the three pronged building to the South West of the station on the other side of the dual carriageway.
The current tram stop at St. George’s is the blue dot in the bottom left corner of the map.
Today, this article has been published in the Wolverhampton Express and Star, which is entitled Wolverhampton train station’s new look revealed. This is said.
The artist’s impressions were revealed at an international property conference being held in Cannes as part of the council’s presentation showcasing the city’s regeneration successes and future developments.
Work is due to start on the new railway station next year following the extension and refurbishment of the railway station multi-storey car park, which is expected to be completed by Christmas.
The revamp is part of the £120 million Interchange project that will also see a Metro line extension, including a new stop at the station.
So positive things seem to be happening. This is a visualisation.
The Planned Wolverhampton Station
Note the tram and the lines in front of the station.
This section in Wikipedia details how the trams will link to the station. This is an extract.
In March 2014, it was announced that the Wolverhampton Extension would go ahead as part of a £2bn connectivity package. The new line would see two new stops built at Piper’s Row and Wolverhampton Railway Station, which will see trams terminate alternately at the Rail station and at the existing St George’s stop.
It’s a pity, that the tram isn’t being extended to Molineux.
