Tram 54 crosses Wolverhampton's inner ring road as it approaches the railway station. The long-delayed diversion of the tram route
had finally opened on Sunday 17th September 2023 and this shot was taken on the morning of Tuesday 10th October. The service was
only just recovering from earlier disruption, rush hour traffic congestion on the Bilston Road led to significant delays and northbound
trams being turned short at Priestfield with no service to Wolverhampton. Trams run on battery power between the penultimate stop
outside the bus station on Pipers Row, which is a little way around the corner behind the building to the left. The unwired stretch
of tramway runs for about 450 yards, although the more direct walk from the station entrance to Pipers Row tram stop via the bus station
is only about 340 yards.
