About Tipton (continued...)
The area has excellent rail links which are benefiting
from significant investment in the West Coast Mainline
which runs through the town. There are two stations: Tipton
Owen Street and Dudley Port. The former is currently being
redeveloped as a transport hub. The next stop down the
line is Sandwell and Dudley which connects directly with
London Euston.
The modern Metro tramline also provides easy communication
with Birmingham and Wolverhampton – Tipton lies
midway between the two cities.
Tipton is one of the six towns comprising the Metropolitan
Borough of Sandwell, the others being: Oldbury, Rowley
Regis, Smethwick, Wednesbury and West Bromwich. Tipton
is situated in the north east of the borough and is bounded
by the neighbouring boroughs of Dudley, Wolverhampton
and Walsall.
