“There is a blockage in the city so trams will not run past Shalesmoor as there is nowhere for them to turn back towards Hillsborough. If they ran past Shalesmoor, all trams would back up West St and nothing would be left between Shalesmoor and the terminus.”
Trams from Middlewood and Malin Bridge are turning back at Shalesmoor.
Trams are running between Meadowhall and Sheffield Station in both directions.
The firm said Stagecoach buses are accepting tickets in affected areas.
