The good progress being made on the major rail replacement project on Stagecoach Supertram is continuing with the latest worksite on the outbound track through Langsett Primrose View tramstop between the junctions with Ash Street and Cuthbert Bank Road. This remains area two of the 2019 project with trams currently unable to travel any further than Shalesmoor from the city meaning that both the Blue and Yellow routes are not serving stops from there to their respective termini at Malin Bridge and Middlewood.
