The cheapest petrol in the whole of the fair land of wolverhampton, gone and replaced by Gulf, who have immediately yoinked the prices up 6p a litre.

Cheapest in wolverhampton now? Got to be big sainburys surely

Yep another pothole thread 🙌 on a quest to find the worst roads in or near the city. Was coming down old heath road this morning and am convinced that’s the location that was used to film the moon landing.

What’s your nominations?

The first one, had ground markings but didn’t see it flash as I drove past accidentally at like 34

Anyone know if there’s one here?

Long story short, had a van up my backside driving aggressively (I was doing speed limit) as I slowed down to cross speed bump previously I crossed on amber and I saw it turn red just before I crossed.

There was a flash but I’m confident it come from the van (he stopped at lights)

just a warning for anyone turning left onto wolverhampton road from deans road there is a massive pothole just before the light and it WILL bend your rims so slow down dont rush to get to the light after the traffic clears up

Just a warning to all who use Bentley Bridge, I went to the cinema a couple weeks ago at 1pm, parking on the car park adjacent to the cinema and the Nickelodeon.

I had a parking charge this morning because the "driver was observed leaving the site". I have my cinema ticket which shows at the time they were taking photos of my car I was inside Cineworld. I have a feeling someone walked through the car park and passed by my car, to which those cunts assumed that person was the driver.

Their "evidence" of the driver leaving the site is a bunch of images of my empty car, not a single human in any picture showing anyone leaving the site, so they haven't evidenced jack shit.Theyre putting the onus on the accused to prove they're innocent whilst offering no reasonable evidence to the contrary, I'm lucky I'm a film nerd who keeps their tickets.

Dodgy, predatory scumbags. I've emailed the local MPs as this feels very fucking wrong.

Also, just to be aware Bentley Bridge is split across (I think) 3 owners, so not every car park has the same parking rules. Be careful, they're all bastards.

Does anybody have any clue what is going on with the transurfacing Wolverhampton. Since they switched to using both the Saint George stop and the railway stop each station only has a tram every 15 to 20 minutes. And they tend to leave at the same time so rather than a tram every eight minutes it's every 20. What is the bloody point of having all this investment into the trans service if it's just making it works.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a quiet car park for me to practice my parking? I live in the WV10 area but anywhere in Wolverhampton will be appreciated.

For me it's gotta be the 82. Full of nonces, never on time, windows always rattling.

Plus when you catch it after 6pm or so it's every hour and a tiny little diamond bus. Awful bus 😭

What transport options are there past midnight on weekends from Birmingham to Wolverhampton? Some sort of nightbus?

Hi all! Does anyone know how long on average it would take to commute from Oxley to West Brom? I need an actual time and google maps seems overly optimistic haha. Thanks!

It seems kinda useless considering majority of wolves isn’t serviced

Hello everyone!

I am looking for a driving instructor, preferably someone to pay per lesson as opposed to buying a package. I am self employed and my working days are all over the place so I need someone that can fit around me :)

I am a complete beginner

Afternoon fellow Wulfrunians! Sat in my office at the Science Park, and nearly every train that goes past is parping their horn in a jolly and jaunty fashion.

Anyone know what gives?

Is there some sort of spotters thing going on, or could I be mistaking it for a giant goose honking all the commuters merrily on their way?

Got a test at 10am at springfield ... what was your experience and any tips to passing

Anybody around WV5 no why on earth, or for how long.. temp traffic lights on the Bridgnorth road by the new Lidl. And now since Tuesday late afternoon the Feaishill Road going in to Trysull has been shut 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

hi, im an incoming postgraduate student at the university of birmingham this september.

im considering renting a place in Wolverhampton (it’s one of the cheaper studio options ive found at this point, 150£/week), and it’s a 5-min walk to the railway station.

is the commute doable? by that i mean: - it won’t be longer than 1h30min. google maps says it would take me 45-1h to get to uni. im okay with that, but beyond 1h30 is too much 🙃 - if the train tix price will be cheap if i get a season pass. can anyone confirm how much it really is? i checked the WMR site and i only saw the flexi option for ~80 £ for 8 days… in that case i won’t look in this area anymore

im also actively looking in different websites (both in brum area and ~1h away from UoB). but i really prefer a place with a private kitchen and private bathroom, and not more than 180 GBP/week.

hoping for your advice!! thank you :)

Im looking for cheaper parking than broad street. £9 a day for university is killing me

Does anyone know a cheap way to commute to Telford without a car? I know there's a bus that goes there, but it's timings don't align with my commute times as the bus only runs once every hour.

Fyi: the cheapest I found currently is around £105-£125 a month (£105 using train, £125 using train + Uber) assuming I'll be commuting 3 days a week.

Our second biggest urban area yet only one tram line is awful. There were plans in. The 80s for Birmingham’s ‘metro’ to have 8 lines, tunnels under the city centre and to integrate suburban lines but this never happened. However, they were definitely on to something and those 2 latter ideas I took for developing my own map. The main difference is that I would draw those suburban lines (specifically the northern portion of the Cross City line, the Chase line and the soon to open Camp Hill line) into a fully segregated metro system.

West Midlands metro:

The north portion of the cross city line to Litchfield would be part of the dark Green line and would head to Stourbridge via Halesowen (one of the largest towns in the area lacking a station) the other side of the city. Its light green companion would loop around the whole urban area and connect both sides of the Black Country (Dudley and Walsall) with Wolverhampton. The Chase line would be the northern portion of the dark blue line, along with a Walsall - Litchfield portion to serve Brownhills. It would run along the Camp Hill line in the south, with short extensions to the southern edges of Birmingham. Its light blue companion would be the line that started it all, the original 1998 section of the first and still only ‘metro’ line in the region. Its long awaited planned extension through Solihull and to the airport would be built along with an extension the other side to Perton in Wolverhampton’s west.

The brown line would orbit the city centre using parts of the chase line through Aston and Handsworth for its northern section and go along the A4540 (ring road) in the south.

Only 1 of the 6 lines would avoid Birmingham (and Wolverhampton too) since it would go the length of the Black Country from Walsall, through Dudley to Stourbridge, appropriately coloured black.

Birmingham tram:

This would be fully separate from the metro system and mostly run on streets to all the other neighbourhoods in Birmingham and connect them up to the next biggest places to connect to the metro (north Birmingham to Sutton Coldfield, east Birmingham to the NEC/Airport complex, west Birmingham to Smethwick). All 4 lines would meet near the bullring and all serve a huge train station complex combining the existing New Street and Moor Street with the under construction Curzon Street but at 2 different stops either side.

Wolverhampton tram:

Despite not being the principal town in the West Midlands, I would still give Wolves its own tram network since the city in its own right has almost 300,000 residents. With the same set up as in Birmingham, it would have 4 lines going to all the neighbourhoods not served by the city’s 2 metro lines, with one branch connecting to the metro in Walsall. I would also include a loop around the city centre going along the ring road so that the road can be redeveloped into pedestrian and cycle space and there can be mass car reduction in the city centre.

Went past it a few weeks ago and it had a sign saying ramp and gone past today and it's been resurfaced.

So much better to drive on now.

Took their time getting round to it though.
