Essential weekend engineering works to prepare Sheffield’s tramlines for
Tram Train will take place in the New Year. The Tram Train between
Sheffield and Rotherham is planned to launch between Sheffield and
Rotherham in 2017 and these works are required on certain parts of the
network to allow tram train vehicles to run.
Passengers in South Yorkshire will be the first in the country to
benefit from pioneering Tram Trains that will provide a direct service
from Sheffield city centre to Rotherham Central and Parkgate, travelling
on street tramlines and the national rail network.
Engineering work to adapt the Supertram track for Tram Train has taken
place overnight since 30 October. The works in the New Year are required
due to the Tram Trains requiring a different wheel profile from the
current tram to allow operation on the heavy rail system.
Once completed, Tram Trains will be tested on the adapted tracks before
being introduced on the Supertram network to provide extra services at
busy times.
*Supertram Service Disruptions from Saturday 10 January 2016*
Revised timetables and services will operate on the Purple and Yellow
Supertram routes between Cricket Inn Road and Meadowhall on the
following dates:
*Sunday 10 January *
*Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 January *
*Saturday 30 & Sunday 1 February *
*Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 February *
*Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 February *
Dedicated YX and Y1 bus services will replace trams between Fitzalan
Square and Meadowhall. Y2 services will operate on Saturday’s between
9am and 6pm, every 30 minutes between City Centre and Nunnery Park &
Ride. This service will stop at Commercial Street and Nunnery Park &
Ride only. Blue Route Supertram services between Malin Bridge and
Halfway are unaffected.
*Tram and Bus Replacement Services***
*_Sunday 10 January_*
Yellow trams will operate as normal to Tinsley.
Between Tinsley and Meadowhall Interchange a replacement bus service
will operate, matching the frequency of trams (every 10 or 20 minutes)
using the bus stops adjacent to Tinsley tram stop (37023578 to
Meadowhall Interchange and 37023577 from Meadowhall Interchange)
*_Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 January_***
*Yellow* trams will operate between *Middlewood and Cricket Inn Road*
*Blue *trams will operate as normal between *Malin Bridge and Halfway*.
*Purple* trams will operate between *Herdings Park and Cathedral only*
*Service* *To and from* *Frequency*
*Y* Middlewood <> Cricket Inn Road Every 10 or 20 Minutes
*B* Operates as normal
*P* Herdings Park <> Cathedral
*YX* Commercial <> Meadowhall – Limited stop Every 10 to 20 minutes

*Y2* Commercial <> Nunnery Square P&R Every 30 minutes, Saturday only.
*_Saturday 30 & Sunday 31 January, Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 February and
Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 February_***
Yellow trams will combine with the Purple route to Herdings Park, every
20 minutes.
The other Yellow trams will run as far as Sheffield Station.
This essentially means that when there is a 10 minute service, every
other tram from Middlewood will go to Herdings Park with the others
turning at Sheffield Station.
On the Sunday, all Yellow and Purple services will combine to provide a
20 minute service between Middlewood and Herdings Park.
*Service* *To and from* *Frequency*
*Y/P* Middlewood <>Cricket Inn Road Every 20 Minutes
*P/Y* Middlewood <> Herdings Park Every 20 Minutes
*B* Operates as normal
