The view under the Black Country New Road at Great Bridge on Sunday 13th July 2025. This is the view from Eagle Crossing
looking southbound towards Dudley Port. The OLE only went as far as the overbridge in the distance at this date, with the track
continuing a few hundred yards further as far as Horseley Road. Unlike with phase 1 of the Metro between Birmingham and
Wolverhampton, where proper railway rolling stock like diesel shunters and ballast wagons were involved, the Dudley extension
has largely been built using road and road-rail vehicles. The only dedicated rail vehicles that I've seen are a couple of tiny
four-wheel flatbed trolly wagons, the sort that can be pushed along by hand. There are examples of these in the foreground of
this shot, one on either side of the tracks.
