Redevelopment
During the 1980s and 1990s, there were several proposals for redevelopment of the site, including re-opening the station and converting the station into a transport museum, but none came to fruition.
In 1999, the Midland Metro tramway opened, using most of the GWR route between Wolverhampton and Birmingham, but this turns towards the centre of Wolverhampton to run along the A41 Bilston Road before reaching Low Level.
Redevelopment of the Low Level station site began in 2006, retaining the main station building (which is a listed building) whilst the remainder of the station, including the former main southbound platform is being demolished to make way for a 'mixed use' retail, hotel and residential development. This redevelopment of the station is now (January 2009) mostly complete. The station building itself was destined to become a casino. This has now fallen through. The station (now restored) is currently home to an Art Gallery, although this is due to end 31 July 2010. The station building is now (late 2012) being transformed into a banqueting hall.
