St Paul's tram stop is a tram stop serving nearby St Paul's Square, Birmingham, England. It was opened on 31 May 1999 and is the penultimate Midland Metro Line 1 stop, before the terminus at Birmingham Snow Hill. It is visible from the platform ends at the latter. Pedestrian access is via Constitution Hill.

The stop sits in the shadow of Livery Street, which, at this point, is on a blue-brick lined embankment, preventing direct access to the square. Livery street then crosses the tram and railway lines, at a very acute angle, at the Wolverhampton end of the stop.

The Birmingham to Worcester railway line runs alongside, but the stop is served only by trams, as there are no railway platforms.

Services

Mondays to Saturdays, Midland Metro services in each direction between Birmingham and Wolverhampton run at six to eight-minute intervals during the day, and at fifteen-minute intervals during the evenings and on Sundays.[2]
