Sheffield Supertram suspends route this weekend in next step of £110m investment works
Rail replacement buses will run all weekend
Sheffield Supertram will be partly suspended this weekend (June 27-28) for essential works.
The Blue Route service between Drake House Lane/Beighton and Halfway will not run this Saturday and Sunday.
Instead, customers will be able to take a rail replacement bus from the Crystal Peaks stop to reach Drake House Lane, Waterthorpe, Westfield and Halfway.
Blue route services will still run between Malin Bridge and Drake House Lane.
These works won’t affect other tram routes, with Purple route, Yellow route and Tram Train services operating as normal.
Blue route tram services are expected to return to their normal route and timetable from Monday, June 29.
The works will replace worn rails as part of the programme to upgrade the trams, track, control systems and power supplies, alongside the construction of the new Tram Train station at Magna.
The work forms part of a wider £110 million investment programme aimed at modernising the South Yorkshire tram network, with improvements being delivered to track, rolling stock, power systems and operational technology.
