Metro service restored after overhead line problems disrupt trams
The West Midlands Metro been hit by problems this morning after damage to overhead lines prevented trams from running along part of the route.
The operator said shortly after 9am that trams were not able to run between Wednesbury Parkway and Handsworth Booth Street due to "overhead line damage at Dudley Street".
The damage is thought to have been caused by the hot weather, with engineers out checking the line during the heatwave.
Tickets were accepted on bus and train services before the overhead lines were repaired and full service resumed shortly after 1pm.
