If you happen to travel past South Yorkshire Supertram’s depot at Nunnery Square you will probably noticed a number of trams stabled in the yard with their destination display saying “Tram Prepped”. But that is usually as far as those trams get as by the time they leave the depot things have been inputted to get the right route on the displays. But it doesn’t always happen like that as we see in this article.
121 is seen here calling at Hillsborough and its running a Blue route service to Halfway – but if you were looking at the tram you’d be forgiven for not realising that as it still states “Tram Prepped”! This particular service would have started back at Malin Bridge, but its not know whether it had been stating “Tram Prepped” on that journey or whether this was just an error on this journey. It doesn’t seem to be confusing the passengers on the platform though as they start to board the tram. Either that or no-one takes any notice where the tram is going usually anyway!
