The mileages here are out of date.

Does anyone know the current route mileages (Miles and Chains)?

Mainly Wolverhampton to Edgbaston Village
Edgbaston Village to Grand Central.

Thanks in advance

RailwayData has mileage search engines for metro networks in the UK. I try and keep them up-to-date using open data and mapping, confirming accuracy with GPS recordings. www.railwaydata.co.uk/mileages/wmmetro

Assuming you're referring to Wolverhampton St. George's, the distance between Wolverhampton and Edgbaston Village 14m 12ch.
Edgbaston to Grand Central is 1m 19ch.

What is the distance between Bull Street & Albert Street & Albert Street to Corporation Street. The link provided in post 2 doesn't list the extension towards Millennium Point

I've been keeping an eye out for a reliable source of distances over the Millennium Point extention. When compiling mileage data for the RailwayData website, I use a mixture of FOI requests, OS open mapping and GPS tracking from on board the tram. Unfortunately none of these seem to exist for the branch yet, and I'm not likely to be in Birmingham anytime soon, but will keep an eye out for when one is available.

Ah, darn - if you'd asked a month ago I could have measured it for you with a GPS when I was there on the 13th May, but I'm not planning to go on those trams again until the next extension opens...

Just a thought... you could e-mail their customer services and just ask...?

A BLS map dated March has Albert Street at 0.26km and Millennium Point 0.42km from the junction, where the zero point is at 20.4km from the zero point at St Georges.
