Piper's Row is a proposed stop for the Midland Metro tram service in Wolverhampton. The possibility of extending the Metro from its current terminus at St George's in the city centre to the town's railway station, via its bus station has long been a priority of Centro (Network West Midlands).[1]
In March 2014 it was announced that the extension would go ahead as part of a £2bn connectivity package for the whole region.[2] Early discussions have suggested that existing services will continue from The Royal up to Piper's Row and Wolverhampton station, missing out St George's completely, except for busy periods of the day, but this is as yet unconfirmed. The layout of the town made the initially-envisaged 'loop' behind St George's uneconomical, and now services stopping at the old terminus will have to drive in and wait for the driver to switch ends before backing out again to continue the journey.
