An extension of the Midland Metro to Birmingham New Street station will open next month, Centro has announced. The full length of the extension from Snow Hill Station to New Street, via Bull Street and Corporation Street, will go into service on May 22 following a succesful period of testing. This was the last big hurdle to overcome, said Centros Midland Metro programme director Phil Hewitt. A series of late night tests were completed between April 23 and 24, including a low-speed test run between Bull Street and Stephenson Street. [From Richard Buckby]
