Metro services were unable to run between two stops in Wolverhampton due to heavy traffic

West Midlands Metro announced on X, formerly Twitter, at around 2.05pm that trams were unable to stop between Priestfield and Wolverhampton Station.

The travel company said the disruption to the service was caused as a result of "heavy traffic" on Bilston Road, where the Priestfield stop is located.

It later advised at around 3.20pm that trams were running a normal service between Wolverhampton Station and Edgbaston Village, but warned of residual delays.
