Appreciate the article only includes artist impressions, and the reality is to be seen, but this looks positive;

The best memory of course being the 59 bus stop - and 68! - to and from sunny Wednesfield between the church and the Poly. ;-)

Whose coming to Wolverhampton so much that extra hotel space is needed?

 

[ROVERT47]

I haven’t been in the Town centre for over 12 months and then it was just an appointment at my late Father’s Bank.
I can’t remember the last time I shopped in the Town centre.

Lots of people. Given it's one of the largest cities in England and a major employment centre, plenty of Premier Inn-type business customers will.

I'm guessing it was before 31 January 2001...

Ha, never been able to refer to it as ‘City’, it’ll always be Town to me.
As in, ‘I’m just going to Town’.
