West Midlands Metro trams were not calling at Wolverhampton St George's or The Royal on Thursday afternoon due to delays caused by a broken-down tram.

Heavy delays have caused trams to avoid two Wolverhampton stops this afternoon

Instead, trams were running between Priestfield and Edgbaston Village, while a shuttle service was taking passengers between Priestfield and Wolverhampton St George's.
