The original West Midlands Metro terminus is at Wolverhampton St George's. Work began on a new branch of the Metro to improve transport interchange, as well as terminating at the railway station there is also an intermediate stop at Pipers Row bus station. Originally it was planned to open the new branch in 2020 but this was delayed until September 2023 [1].
There is a single platform though there is space to store a tram beyond the platform if needs be. The new branch has not been electrified and relies on the West Midlands Metro tram fleet's battery capability.
