The tram stop to be known as Dudley Castle, under construction on Tuesday 18th March 2025. This view looks due south,
with the tram line climbing along what was once the approach road to the Freightliner terminal as it rises from the
railway alignment to reach Castle Hill (road) in the distance. On the left is the VLR (Very Light Rail) building. Just
left of the trees is the Station Hotel, and the tram line makes a 90° right turn to pass in front of the hotel before
climbing sharply up Castle Hill. To the right of the tree is the metal frame of a new building being constructed on the
site of the recently demolished Dudley Hippodrome theatre. This will be a nursing college run by the University of Worcester.
Dudley Castle is part of the Zoo complex, and both are out of shot to the right here, the tram stop being situated alongside
the Zoo car park.
