Bank holiday tram disruption due to improvements
There will be bank holiday disruption to the Supertram network in Sheffield to allow for rail replacement work. The changes to services between Saturday and Monday are to allow the replacement of worn tracks at the Gleadless Townend tram stop, Travel South Yorkshire said. Supertram's blue route will only run between Malin Bridge and Sheffield Station, with purple route services suspended. A replacement bus service will run between Fitzalan Square and Halfway, it added, with all other services due to be operating as normal. For journeys to Herdings/Leighton Road or Herdings Park, valid Supertram tickets will be accepted on First Bus services 47 and 48.

Supertram and bus disruption over Easter weekend
Supertram and bus passengers have been warned of disruption in South Yorkshire as works continue over the Easter weekend. Worn tram track will be replaced near Hillsborough Interchange and Middlewood Road, while the concrete track bed at Hillsborough Corner will be repaired. The new rails will reduce noise and improve comfort for passengers, according to South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA). Works will take place from Friday 18 April until Sunday 20 April, resulting in bus diversions and changes to the blue and yellow tram timetable. Repairs follow the endorsement of the Supertram Business Plan at the SYMCA Board in March. It saw a commitment to invest more than £110m by 2027, including upgrades to trams, track, control systems and power supplies, alongside the construction of a new tram train station at the Magna science centre in Rotherham. During the works, buses will be unable to access Hillsborough Interchange and will instead stop at temporary bus stops along diversion routes. Infirmary Road, Langsett/Primrose View, Bamforth Street, Hillsborough Interchange, Hillsborough Park, Leppings Lane, Middlewood and Malin Bridge tram stops will not be served over the weekend. Blue and yellow trams are set to run on a revised timetable but tram replacement buses will also be available. Tram users were told further areas of rail replacement would be undertaken throughout the year as part of the investment programme.
