Over 1,000 people were killed or seriously injured on West Midlands roads last year — every one a life changed forever.

Visit Sandwell Council House to read messages from families affected by dangerous driving.

Take a moment to reflect and leave your own note for safer roads.

Good afternoon Sandwell!

We had the pleasure of presenting our trainees from The Westminster School with their Travel Training certificates.

We're proud of all our trainees for the hard work they have put into becoming independent travellers! Keep up the great work.

Hello Sandwell,

During the pandemic some bus, train and metro services have changed, some services may become more frequent and some may have become less frequent.

Just remember to always check the bus, train and metro online time tables before setting out.

Stay safe.

[Ittu Sandwell @IttuSandwell]

Hello Sandwell,

When paying for your travel fare try and use a contactless form of payment instead of cash, this will help to reduce the transmission of COVID-19

Stay safe.

Hello Sandwell

It’s hints & tips time again.

Remember when using the train and metro all passengers must sit facing the same direction to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19
