The Lodge Road bridge is viewed here from the Lodge Road West Bromwich Town Hall metro station. A tram from Wolverhampton is approaching the station. The metro trams have used this line from Wolverhampton to Birmingham since 1999. It follows the course of the former Birmingham to Wolverhampton Low Level Line that was built by the Great Western Railway (GWR) between 1851 and 1854, as part of the GWR's route from London Paddington to Birkenhead Woodside. Passenger services were withdrawn in 1972; see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Snow_Hill_to_Wolverhampton_Low_Level_Line .
