The tram has just emerged from under the second of the railway bridges crossing Bilston Road. It is on its way to Birmingham Snow Hill. It carries the route number 1, but the system only has the one route from Wolverhampton to Snow Hill. It is however due to be extended to Birmingham New Street Railway Station, in the next few years. The tram is still carrying the old livery. It dates from 1999, when the system opened. Funding has now been approved for the whole fleet to be replaced with more and bigger vehicles. Presently out to tender, these hopefully will appear in the next couple of years or so.
