The trackbed of the northern line at the Metro stop was converted into a coach drop-off point but saw little use. It's is now used by Banga Bus as the terminus for their 530 and 545 services, replacing stops in nearby Tower Street.
 
A branch running from St. George's to the nearby bus and rail stations is expected to open in 2021, with plans to add a loop through Market Street and Lichfield Street at a later date.<ref>{{cite web|title=£30m Midland Metro extension plan revived|url=https://www.expressandstar.com/news/2012/05/02/30m-midland-metro-extension-plan-revived/|publisher=Express & Star|access-date=16 March 2013}}</ref><ref name=":0" />
