Stunning CGI images show how the inside of the new £24 million Dudley Interchange will look once it is complete.

Transport for West Midlands released the pictures for the project which they say will transform public transport in the town, enabling passengers to link between the bus and new Metro

services.

Commuters and residents will see the new modern interchange, which is being built by the contractor Taylor Woodrow, take shape over the coming months and it is expected to open in spring

2026.

The Interchange will include a modern two-storey facility with comfortable waiting areas and live travel information screens.

Bosses also said it will have improved accessibility features and enhanced safety for all users as well as environmental benefits to reduce carbon footprint consistent with the region's

net-zero carbon ambition.

Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands, said: "Close to £1bn is being invested in the regeneration of Dudley town centre so it’s only right that visitors are given a suitably impressive

experience on arrival.

"This new Interchange, with its sleek, modern design, will provide that quality gateway to the town for bus and Metro passengers alike.

"Dudley is a town on the up and I’m backing that renaissance with new transport links and other investments to drive the economic growth, jobs and affordable homes that local people need and

deserve.”

Councillor Patrick Harley, Leader of Dudley Council, added: "The Dudley Interchange is a cornerstone of our town's revitalisation.

"Through seamless connections between bus and the forthcoming Metro, this interchange will make a monumental difference to those living, working, and visiting Dudley.

"It’s a key piece of the puzzle in creating a vibrant and prosperous future for our borough, and these new visuals perfectly illustrate that ambition."

TfWM which is part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), also said it wants to ensure the new building reflects the rich history and diverse communities of Dudley.

Jo Shore, Delivery Director for Transport for West Midlands, said: "We firmly believe that this new interchange should be more than just a transport hub; it should be a true reflection of

Dudley's unique character.

"We’re excited to work hand-in-hand with local schools, colleges, and community groups to ensure it reflects the history and vibrancy of the area. This collaborative approach will make the

interchange a truly welcoming and representative space for everyone."

TfWM will be hosting a Spring Fair on Saturday, 14 June at Birdcage Walk which will provide a fantastic opportunity for residents to engage with the project team, learn more about the

interchange, and support local traders.
