A crash between a tram and a car has caused chaos on the line from Wolverhampton to Birmingham this morning. (Tuesday)
This was the scene earlier at Bilston Road Island on Wolverhampton ring road where crews are in the process of getting the tram involved in a collision with a car back on the tracks.
The road (at the junction with the A41) remains closed.
Diversions are in place and delays are expected on the Metro service this morning.
A spokesman for West Midlands Metro said at 6am: “Due to an RTC in Wolverhampton trams are not operating between Wolverhampton Station and Priestfield Trams are operating between Priestfield and Edgbaston Village only.”
It comes after part of the line was closed last week due to the Conservative Party Conference.
