Tram service disrupted after line blocked by car accident
Travellers on the Midlands Metro have been hit with delays after a line was blocked due to a car crash.
The incident, which happened around 5.42pm, meant that trams were unable to stop between Wolverhampton St George's and Priestfield, with trams terminating at Priestfield and running to Bull Street.
Ticket holders for Midlands Metro services will be able to use NX West Midlands bus 79 between Priestfield and Wolverhampton and West Midlands Railway services between Wolverhampton and Birmingham.
A spokesman for Midlands Metro said: "Due to a car accident, trams are unable to stop between Wolverhampton St George's and Priestfield.
"Trams now running between Priestfield and Bull Street only.
"Trams are not in operation between Wolverhampton St George's and Priestfield.
"Tickets are being accepted on the NX West Midlands 79 bus between Priestfield and Wolverhampton and West Midlands Railway between Wolverhampton and Birmingham."
The disruption came just hours after a 24-hour signal fault, which prevented trams from running between Priestfield and Wolverhampton St George's, was fixed.
