Thinking of driving, catching the bus, train or the Metro this morning?
We have the latest travel updates as snow brings travel disruption in the West Midlands.
Keep across our social media channels and the Transport for West Midlands website for updates throughout the day.
*Update - 8:25am - just after this video was filmed - West Midlands Metro is now operating a 15 Minute service between Wolverhampton and Edgbaston Village.
Best thing #wba can do is fully back the manager and say he's our man for the next 2/3 seasons, come what may. Fans have got to get real. We're not going to win the league with 100 points. We're recovering financially, with a chance to organically build a structure for the future

🤩 Firkin-fabulous!
🎉 West Brom’s very own Firkins bakery is returning to the high street after a decade.
🙌 And it’s coming home - taking pride of place in the new West Bromwich Indoor Market.
Excellent deal for the Baggies. Will miss him, but what the Albion missed for years was selling off talent for max value and reinvesting in the squad and club overall. It's vital to trade players well. Look at how Brighton and Bournemouth have operated. Pleased with this #wba
Great defender and will be missed but an excellent deal for #wba after a superb 12 months for Heggem. Clear Bilkul model for club at the mo (& real success). Important move for PSR and strengthening squad this month.

Josh Davis has an inspiring story.
He lives with Autism and didn’t excel at school.
But he hasn’t let that get in the way of building a career.
After meeting him at @southandcitycol, staff at @GMIConstruction were struck by his enthusiasm and offered him a supported internship.
As a result of his improved communication skills, Josh is now working towards a full-time level 3 business administration apprenticeship.
We're working with the @MayorWestMids towards creating 20,000 more work-based opportunities to support young people like Josh.

🏅 As the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris approach, we’re wishing all of the @ParalympicsGB athletes from the West Midlands the very best of luck!
🌍 We'll be cheering you all on as you represent our region on the global stage!
🤞 Everyone in the West Midlands is behind you!

Think the deals for BTA, Townsend and Okay represent good value. We've rarely sold players for good money when offered. Don't think CC rated them as they had been subbed/on the bench from time to time without many other options. Take a look at some new players now #wba
It was good to head to Dudley with @MayorWestMids @RichParkerLab as he met people who had moved into new affordable homes on the Cookley Works development.
@WestMids_CA has invested £1m into the site in Brierley Hill.

Look we’ve not had a centre forward all season. Spent no money. And all the hassle off the field facing financial trouble. There were individual mistakes tonight but we’ve had a good season and it’s time to ensure the club’s stable, back @CarlosCorberan and build again #wba
Don’t forget we had Bruce dragging us down and an owner using the club as his personal bank just a few months ago. Things could have been much worse. Build again and come back stronger #wba 💙🤍
