My son reports: "Birmingham city centre tram lines [West Midlands Metro] are having to be ripped up and replaced because of a defect causing lines to crack. It's a long and loud process." He works in the building on the right. At the bottom of the slope the tracks turn the sharp corner into Stephenson Street which has a stop for New Street station. Behind the camera is pedestrianised New Street and, across the junction, Corporation Street.
