Metro disruption as Great Birmingham Run takes over city centre

Tram services between Bull Street and Edgbaston Village have been temporarily suspended today as thousands of runners take to the streets for the Great Birmingham Run.

From the start of service until 2:30pm, West Midlands Metro is operating a reduced service, with trams running every 12 minutes between Wolverhampton Station and Bull Street only.

The change, announced early this morning, is in place to accommodate the road closures and crowds linked to one of the region’s largest mass participation events.

Passengers are advised to plan ahead and check the Metro's website for full details on service changes throughout May. Normal operations are expected to resume after 2:30pm today.
