The stop outside the Clayton Hotel will be a temporary terminus to allow part of the scheme to open in 2025/26, which will offer seamless links between the tram and train and bus services at Moor Street Station and the Bus Mall, as well as offer a convenient stop for Birmingham City University and Millennium Point.
Construction work on the tram track through Curzon Street Station cannot begin until HS2 has handed over the site – which is not expected to be until 2026 at the earliest.
The tram will run from Bull Street in the City Centre to High Street, Deritend via Curzon Street, New Canal Street and Meriden Street. The scheme includes four permanent West Midlands Metro stops, and the temporary terminus, serving the east side of the city.
The construction industry has faced challenging times globally including increased labour costs and inflationary pressures, so we are unable to provide an estimate on costing at this stage.
