Castle Hill, Dudley, on Tuesday 2nd April 2024. The Metro track emerges from the right, having risen over a distance of about
400 yards from the level of the railway to the level of the road bridge which crosses above it. Most of that climb uses
the alignment which was once the driveway into the Freightliner depot, closed in 1986. The turn onto Castle Hill is about 80°
on a stiff gradient. On the right is Dudley Castle, now visible from this spot since the Hippodrome theatre was demolished
in 2023.
