Wolverhampton St George's tram stop is a tram stop on the West Midlands Metro in Bilston Street, Wolverhampton, England. Originally to be named Market Street, it was opened on 30 May 1999 and was the terminus until Wolverhampton Station opened in September 2023.[1][2][3]
The stop was built as a single island platform with two platform faces, with a crossover just outside the stop, though in 2015, the northern track was removed, leaving just the southern platform in use by trams. It is on the edge of Wolverhampton's main shopping area, and around Script error: No such module "convert". from Wolverhampton railway station.[4]
The trackbed of the northern line at the West Midlands Metro stop was converted into a coach drop-off point but saw little use. It is now used by Banga Bus as the terminus for its daytime 530 bus service, replacing a stop in nearby Tower Street.
Following the opening of the route to Wolverhampton Station in September 2023, services ceased to use the stop.[5] It was planned that services would resume after a few months following improvement works.[6][7] As at November 2024, this has yet to occur.[8]
