Midland Metro, Tipton Road, Dudley
The view looking north from Tipton Road, Dudley, on the morning of Sunday 10th August 2025. Some OLE masts had been erected between here and the Sedgley Road stop since my last visit in mid-July. There was no plain track in this section at least as far as the Birmingham New Road stop, just visible in the distance before the line curves away. However just beyond the Tipton Road station there's a trailing crossover, rather lost in the shadows. This can only be for southbound trams to turn back if they don't have enough puff to do the serious hill climbing necessary to reach the town centre. Obviously some signals and point indicators will also be required for that crossover.
