Meanwhile, Stagecoach Supertram states the tram-train route between Tinsley and Parkgate is closed until further notice due to flooding.

Ticket acceptance is in place with First and Stagecoach buses between Sheffield, Meadowhall, Rotherham and Parkgate. 

Storm Henk dumped more than 10 hours of rain on to an already sodden Sheffield after multiple storms over the Christmas period.

Sheffield City Council contractor Streets Ahead says Totley Brook Road is fully open this morning. 

Flood warnings on the River Sheaf, upper River Don and Whiston Brook have been lifted.
