'''Wolverhampton St George's tram stop''' is a [[tram stop]] in [[Wolverhampton]], [[England]]. It was opened on 31 May 1999 and is the current terminus alongside [[Wolverhampton railway station|Wolverhampton Station]] of the [[West Midlands Metro]] Line 1. The stop is located on Bilston Street. It is one of two stops on the Wolverhampton end of the [[West Midlands Metro]] (along with [[The Royal tram stop|The Royal]]) that are not on the former railway track bed.
The stop was built as a single [[island platform]] with two platform faces, with a crossover just outside the stop, though in 2015, the northern track was removed, leaving just the southern platform in use by trams. It is on the edge of Wolverhampton's main shopping area, and around {{convert|1/4|mi|m}} from [[Wolverhampton railway station]].<ref>[http://thetrams.co.uk/midlandmetro/stops/Wolverhampton%2C_St._George%27s thetrams.co.uk]</ref>
The trackbed of the northern line at the [[West Midlands Metro]] stop was converted into a coach drop-off point but saw little use. It is now used by Banga Bus as the terminus for their 530 and 545 services, replacing stops in nearby Tower Street.
