Construction started in June 2012,[1] and it was opened on 6 December 2015, becoming the first stop of the city-centre extension to open, and the first on-street tram stop to operate in Birmingham since the closure of the Birmingham Corporation Tramways in 1953, and the temporary southern terminus of the service. The rest of the extension to New Street station was opened on 30 May 2016.[2] [3][4]

Mondays to Saturdays, Midland Metro services in each direction between New street and Wolverhampton St George's run at six to eight-minute intervals during the day, and at fifteen-minute intervals during the evenings and on Sundays.[5]
