South Yorkshire Supertram services will not run from Shalesmoor to either Malin Bridge or Middlewood for three days at the start of the Easter weekend and full details of the planned service alterations, replacement transport options and what work is due to take place have now been announced.
Work will be taking place around Hillsborough for all three days (Friday 18th to Sunday 20th April) and at Middlewood on just Sunday 20th April and a number of different tasks are due to be completed. These will include:
- Track renewal at Hillsborough Interchange
- Repairs to the trackbed at Hillsborough Corner
- Track renewal near Middlewood Park and Ride
- Overhead line equipment renewal on Middlewood Road
During all three days the following tram services will be running:
- BLUE – Halfway to Shalesmoor
- YELLOW – Meadowhall to Shalesmoor
- The PURPLE and TRAM-TRAIN routes will continue to run as normal (the TRAM-TRAIN service will be suspended after 1700 on the Saturday as per the current, and until the winter, pattern to allow Magna tramstop construction works to take place)
Replacement buses will run:
- BL1 – Shalesmoor to Malin Bridge (all three days)
- YE1 – Cathedral to Middlewood (Friday and Saturday)
- YE2 – Shalesmoor to Middlewood (Sunday)
The nature of the works means there will be road closures around Hillsborough. Hillsborough Interchange will be closed to buses with services instead using alternative bus stops. The replacement bus services will also not serve either Hillsborough or Hillsborough Park.
