Travelling sustainably to Midland Met

April 12, 2024

When Midland Met opens, sustainable ways of travelling to the site will be on the agenda to reduce our overall impact on the environment in line with our Green Strategic plan. 

The Trust will continue to offer support options for those who can cycle, take public transport, car share, walk or drive using low emission vehicles to work. 

Bike stores will also be located at Midland Met on the same floor as the car park. 

Meanwhile, bus routes around the area are being reviewed by Transport for West Midlands, and there will be two bus stops directly outside the main entrance.  

Those wishing to travel by train can head to Rolfe Street station which is within walking distance of the hospital.  

Shuttle buses will run between Sandwell, Midland Met and City, on a regular basis. Timetables are being worked on to ensure this works conveniently for those who need to travel between sites and do not either wish to drive or have access to a car. 

And the 1,200-space car park will include 30 electric vehicle charging points, with those who are based at Sandwell and City sites, able to access the multi-storey car parks.  

Here are some of the savings colleagues can make if they choose to travel sustainably:
