New pictures released today show the first sections of track have been laid as part of the pioneering multi-million Very Light Rail (VLR) development in the borough.
The images show track on the ground in a currently disused tunnel which runs between Castle Gate and Cinder Bank.
The line, which is being laid along a disused rail track, will be two kilometres long when complete and be used as a test track for VLR. A test passenger platform will be located at Cinder Bank at the end of the track.
It comes as work is already well under way to construct the VLR National Innovation Centre at the old Dudley Train Station in Castle Hill. The centre will boast a triple-height engineering hall, research laboratories, conference and seminar rooms and offices for 45 people. There will also be public areas, including exhibition spaces and an auditorium.
