Good afternoon, thought I'd set one of these up considering Twitter is going down the drain.
For those who are new to my account, Hi I'm Liam. Based in the west midlands, I'm a transport enthusiast covering trains, buses, trams etc. 🫡
Also into football as well for anyone who likes that 😁

With the first phase east side extension potentially opening in November, I'm interested to learn what the service patterns will be going forward.... 🤔
Anyways, Line 1 continues to operate with Tram 35 & 50 running between Wolverhampton & Edgbaston last weekend. 🚊🔷

Headed up to Sutton Coldfield today for the Bull trial....
Opted for Arrivas 110 so I could finally try out the ADL "seed" vehicle. 🚌
Very impressed, comfortable, very fast. Better than BYDs on the city bodies which NX operates.

Whilst out at Barnt Green a couple of days ago, some big progress has been made since I last here on the lifts installation here.
The lift towers are being assembled and the foundations for them are progressing well. 👍
