Metro between Birmingham and Edgbaston not operating due to broken-down tram

A broken-down tram is to blame for services not operating between Birmingham city centre and Edgbaston this morning.

Trams are running as normal from Wolverhampton to Birmingham Library and back, but due to a breakdown at Five Ways services are not running to Edgbaston.

Operator West Midlands Metro posted on X: "Due to a broken-down tram at Five Ways, trams are not operating between Library and Edgbaston Village. 

"Trams are operating between Library and Wolverhampton only."

Tram tickets can be used on Birmingham National Express West Midlands buses 23, 24, 126, 9, X10, X8, 12 and 13 as a result.
