A ride on the recently opened Midland Metro (now known as 'West Midlands Metro') extension from Grand Central stop in Birmingham city centre next to New Street station to Edgbaston Village on the afternoon of Saturday 26th November 2022.
It might be noticed that for some of this route there are no overhead electricity cables. The trams use battery power on some sections.
At the time of making this video, the Birmingham Christmas Market was in full swing which we see as we go through Victoria Square.
